The National Perinatal Depression Initiative aims to improve prevention and early detection of antenatal and postnatal depression and provide better support and treatment for expectant and new mothers experiencing depression.

In line with these goals, in 2011, the Mental Health Association NSW encouraged community organisations to get involved in Postnatal Depression Awareness Week (13-19 November) by holding Mums’ Time events.

 The campaign was a great success. You can read about its aims, activities and outcomes by downloading our evaluation report.
