This World Mental Health Day, 10th October 2024, we're on a mission to support even more women and families affected by postpartum psychosis, and we'd love you to help us. Between midday on 10th October and midday on 17th October, we're aiming to raise £5,000.
Donate now through our Big Give Women & Girls campaign page, and your donation will be doubled, at no additional cost to you, thanks to match funding from the Big Give.
Every donation we receive will be worth twice as much – if you donate £5, APP will receive £10, if you donate £25, we'll receive £50, and so on.
Double the donation means double the impact.
Our target of £5,000 could help us significantly increase our offer of help and support for families affected by postpartum psychosis (PP) - a treatable medical emergency that affects around 1400 women in the UK each year.
Being diagnosed with a severe mental illness like PP is frightening and shocking for the woman and those around her. With the right treatment, nearly all women make a full recovery, but the journey can be long, have ups and downs and can feel very isolating. APP peer supporters are there for everyone affected by PP, whether the experience was recent or many years ago. By donating today, you can help us be there for everyone who needs us, for as long as they need us.
Will you donate today and get your donation doubled?
The peer support programme has helped me immensely. I regularly email a peer supporter and we share a lot about our own experiences.
Knowing that someone further along on their PP journey is there with advice and support has been a real help for my recovery.
