In honour of Perinatal Mental Health Week, this episode we’re joined by the incredible Julie Borninkhof, CEO of PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia).
Julie helps us unpack the real experiences so many parents go through, often silently. We chat about why perinatal mental health is everyone’s business, what signs we should be looking out for in ourselves and in the people we love, and why reaching out for support is a strength, not a weakness.
If you are an expecting parent, new parent, or support person looking for safe, caring, and confidential space to talk, the PANDA National Helpline is available on:
1300 726 306 Monday to Friday, 9am - 7.30pm Saturday, 9am – 4pm (AEST/AEDT)
If you are having suicidal thoughts or are feeling disoriented it’s important to get help immediately. PANDA is not a crisis service, if you need immediate support call Lifeline 13 11 14 (24/7).
CALL 000 for police and ambulance if you or someone else are in immediate danger
