Postnatal Depression and Anxiety Support
We are pleased to now be able to offer support to those who are suffering, or who think they may be suffering from post-natal depression or anxiety. Coping with a baby is one of the hardest things any person can go through.
Much of the focus is on the birth itself. However, it is often after the birth that parents experience loneliness, a feeling of helplessness, low mood or anxiety which is often fuelled by exhaustion.
Lisa Westbury and Jenny Tata from your local branch are there to listen and support you and to point you in the right direction to get the help you may need. Lisa Westbury on 07850 749163, Jenny Tata on 07734 954844 or email: [email protected]
