PANDAS Foundation offers free pre- and postnatal depression advice services, including peer-to-peer support by trained and experienced volunteers. Its aim is to ensure that no parent is alone from conception through to birth and beyond.
The foundation has given presentations to army welfare teams to raise awareness of key perinatal mental health issues, to help provide a better understanding so they are able to engage with both parents.
PANDAS plans to roll out support group sessions for military personnel and family members, to reduce isolation and loneliness on their parental journey. If you would be interested in PANDAS hosting a discussion and support group in your military community, contact Annie Belasco at annie.belasco@pandasfoundation.org.uk
