Mental health is as important as physical health, especially during the perinatal period. Pregnancy and the time after giving birth are exciting but can also bring significant changes and challenges. It’s normal to feel a mix of emotions, but sometimes, these feelings can become overwhelming. That’s where perinatal mental health wellness support comes in - it’s all about taking care of your emotional and mental health during pregnancy and up to a year after your baby is born.

During pregnancy and after having a baby, it's normal to experience a range of emotions. Sometimes, though, feelings like sadness, anxiety, or stress can become overwhelming, and that’s where tools like the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) are beneficial.
