Perinatal anxiety and depression is something that impacts so many parents. Babies really do turn our lives upside down and bring about huge emotions and changes.

This week on The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we welcome CEO of PANDA Juile Borninkhof to share her insights and advice about perinatal anxiety and depression and to talk about the incredible organisation PANDA and the support and services they offer.

It is Perinatal Mental Health Week 23-29 November and we really hope that this chat helps to open up the conversation on normalizing PMH and helping to show the supports available so you can find the support which is right for you.
