Perinatal Wellbeing Canterbury provides free community-based peer support for parents in Canterbury who are experiencing a decline in mental wellbeing relating to, or resulting from, pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting within the first 2,000 days (Pregnancy to 5 years).
Please note: Our support is non-clinical and designed for parents with a mild to moderate decline in mental wellbeing.
PADA (Perinatal Depression and Anxiety Aotearoa) have made a series of videos sharing different experiences of perinatal mental illness.
During the 2020 lockdown PADA (Perinatal Depression and Anxiety Aotearoa) hosted a series of video chats by professionals in the perinatal health sector.
Perinatal anxiety and depression are mental health conditions and there are many places and resources where you can seek help. Keep asking until you get help.
We rely on volunteers to help us run groups, fundraise and provide governance on our board.
Board members: We are looking for people with 4 hours a month to help govern and advise the Trust.
If you recognise any of these symptoms in yourself or loved one ask for help from your midwife or GP or contact us for support.
Our people are the heart Perinatal Wellbeing Canterbury. Our small part-time team in the office take care of the day to day operations and are supported by the governance of our volunteer board members. Our Wellbeing Groups would not run so well without our volunteer peer supporters and childcare volunteers.
