Perinatal Mental Health Week is a reminder that the journey into parenthood can be joyful, overwhelming, and everything in between. And for many families, those emotions can come with extra challenges.
Every year, thousands of new mums and dads experience anxiety, depression, or other perinatal mental health concerns. It’s far more common than many people realise and nothing to be ashamed of.
This year’s theme, “What you need, when you need it,” highlights how vital timely, compassionate support can be. A listening ear, practical strategies, or simply having someone understand what you’re going through can make a world of difference.
At the Bathurst Medicare Mental Health Centre, you don’t need a referral or an appointment - just walk in. If you’re finding things tough, you’re not alone, and support is here when you’re ready.
