PANDAS is a community offering peer-to-peer support for you, your family and your network. We are here, whatever the weather, to offer hope, empathy and support for every parent or network affected by perinatal mental illness e.g. postnatal depression.

Postnatal depression (PND) is a type of depression that many parents experience after having a baby. It can affect any parent, regardless of whether they’ve suffered from a mental health condition before. Postnatal depression is linked directly to giving birth and is a common problem, affecting 1 in 10 women within a year of giving birth. It can also affect dads and partners.

We have a variety of different support services available, all run by a trained team of PANDAS volunteers who are here to help you:

• FREE helpline
• Social media and Facebook groups
• Email support
• Text support
• Face to face and online support groups.
