APNI

The Association for Post-Natal Illness (APNI) is a registered charity that serves as a vital support resource for individuals impacted by post-natal illness, including postnatal depression. Established in 1979, APNI aims to raise public awareness about the challenges surrounding post-natal mental health and provide crucial support to mothers, partners, and families. The organization offers a wealth of resources, including leaflets on postnatal depression and the baby blues, tailored advice for carers, and guidance for new fathers.

At APNI, compassionate volunteers trained in post-natal issues are available to offer empathetic conversations and support through phone calls or emails. Their dedicated helpline operates from Monday to Friday, making it easy for anyone in need to reach out for help. APNI also emphasizes the importance of research into the causes of post-natal illness while inspiring community involvement through fundraising events and donations. By championing awareness and promoting mental health support, APNI plays a crucial role in helping families navigate the often-challenging landscape of post-natal mental health.
