Every journey to and through parenthood is different. Whether someone is trying to conceive, expecting a baby, navigating the early years of parenting, or experiencing pregnancy or infant loss, there may be moments when they need support too. A listening ear, a compassionate conversation, a helping hand, or simply the reassurance that someone cares.

Support naturally centres around the baby, but parents need holding too.

1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience perinatal depression and anxiety. That's around 100,000 Australian parents every year. Behind every statistic is a parent who deserves to be seen, supported and held.

Real Stories, Real People

Families share their unique stories of perinatal mental health challenges. These stories are a reminder to all parents that you are not alone.

Sponsorship for Perinatal Mental Health Week is not a funded arrangement; no financial contributions are exchanged as part of this recognition.
