The Association has set up a register of women who have suffered from postnatal depression and are now well. These women make telephone contact with mothers who are currently depressed, this contact is maintained throughout the illness and period of recovery. The Association is always prepared to offer advice to depressed mothers on a
wide range of issues concerning the management and treatment of postnatal illness. Our
Committee and advisers are available when specialist advice is requested. The Association
works in co-operation with other organisations such as the National Childbirth Trust, the
Meet-a Mum Association and the Federation of Womens Institutes. Donations are our only source of income, every donation, however small is both urgently required and very much appreciated. See Help UsPostnatally depressed women may feel unable to go out of their house, and meeting people causes them a great deal of stress, therefore contact made on the phone is ideal. Mothers find that talking to someone who has had the illness and recovered allows them to talk about the most distressing symptoms of the illness. The phone volunteers also give the mothers hope that they will eventually recover. For those who are not on the phone we can offer the services of volunteers who will communicate by post. This service is also available to women who would prefer to be supported by post. If you are suffering from postnatal depression we do advise you to try talking to one of our volunteers. We are always happy to hear from depressed mothers and glad to answer any enquiries. You can ring us on 0207 386 0868, but please do enclose an S.A.E. if you write.
