Supporting someone through pregnancy or early parenthood can be hard too.

Partners, family members, friends, and carers play a vital role when a woman is struggling during pregnancy or after having a baby, but they are often unsure how best to help, or how to look after themselves along the way.

MumMoodBooster and Mum2BMoodBooster are free, confidential, nationally accredited, evidence-based online treatment programs for women experiencing perinatal depression.

These programs also include dedicated support information for partners and carers, with practical guidance to help you understand perinatal depression, support recovery, care for yourself, and navigate early parenthood together.

If you are supporting someone who may be struggling, you can play an important role by encouraging her to consider MumMoodBooster or Mum2BMoodBooster as a trusted treatment option.
