Where to find support around maternal mental health! Pre and postnatal depression can hit anyone, that includes people who have never experienced mental health issues before. The key is to reach out for support! Your midwife, health visitor or GP can help you. There are specific pre and postnatal charities that can help also. Pandas foundation, APNI.org And Mind.org Are some that come to mind. But a postnatal doula can also help. They can give you someone to talk to and take some of the weight off your shoulders. #maternatalmentalhealthweek #safehandsdoula #staffordshiredoula #mentalhealthmatters #postnataldepression #postnatalsupport
