How we can help when you call the  help line  

Our volunteers have are here to talk to you about pre or postnatal depression and are trained to listen and offer support over the telephone.


Some times it might feel like no one understands what you are going through and coping with the everyday effects of pre and postnatal depression can be isolating and stressful. It can be difficult to come to terms with a diagnosis or to make a treatment choice. Sometimes you simply need space and time to talk freely about how you are feeling and all the options you might have.

Our male and female support volunteers are here to talk if you have been diagnosed with pre or postnatal depression or if you are a partner, friend or family member.
