09.01.2022 This week marks the 15th annual PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) Week. In 2020, more than ever, PANDA want expecting and new parents who are struggling with their mental health to know they’re not alone and can reach out for help. And when they do, they will be supported by those they confide in and the health system that surrounds them. Left untreated, perinatal anxiety and depression can have long-lasting impacts on parents, partners, baby and the rest of t...he family. The key to getting help is being able to recognise that something is wrong and being brave enough to ask for help to ‘tell someone who cares’. That might be talking to your partner, child and family health nurse, doctor or PANDA’s National Helpline (1300 726 306). For information and support, please visit the PANDA Week website. http://panda.org.au/awareness/panda-week

01.01.2022 Keep your eyes peeled for buildings lit up in a purple glow this evening for World Prematurity Day From our charity partner Tiny Sparks WA: "Each year more than 4,000 West Australian babies will be admitted to a Neonatal Unit. 75% of them will have been born prematurely with the remaining 25% full term but sick. Some stays will last for only a few hours, some for many months, even a year. Their families lives will be thrown into turmoil, some will relocate from regional ar...eas indefinitely. No matter the length of time in a Neonatal Unit this simply isn’t the start to life anyone imagined. The long term impact and ripple effect is felt far and wide, and for many years to come."
