Have we supported you? We’d love to hear from you.

If you’ve used APP’s peer support services, please fill in our annual survey.

⏰ It should take about 15–20 minutes to complete. It is open to anyone who’s connected with us - through our online forum, café groups, one-to-one support, NHS partnership projects, or any other contact with an APP peer support volunteer or staff member. We’d also be delighted to hear from volunteers who’ve provided peer support.

💬 Your feedback means a lot to us. It helps us make our peer support even better and shows our funders the difference we’re making. Hearing from as many people as possible helps us to demonstrate just how far our services reach.

All surveys can be completed anonymously and are confidential. Any comments or quotes we might use will stay anonymous.

We want our peer support to be the best it can be, so please pop the kettle on, get comfy, and share your thoughts with us here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PBRSBND

A huge thank you for your time.

Jenny, Ellie and the APP Team 💜

This webinar is for frontline health professionals working with families in the perinatal period. APP experts, women and families with lived experience and clinicians will highlight the early signs and symptoms of postpartum psychosis and discuss how frontline health professionals can work together to prevent maternal su***des.

This is our third in the series. 6,438 health professionals have signed up in previous years. Of attendees, 93% rated the training as ‘excellent’; 7% rated it ‘good’ and 100% agreed they would change their practice as a result:
“Really well put together - the content, the speakers, the information sharing and all the research and evidence presented. This is exactly the type of training needed. The issue is too urgent to ignore and too desperate to not be passionate about.”
