Biography:

Perinatal mental health challenges are serious and can involve a lot of stigma. PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) supports parents and families during pregnancy and throughout the first year of parenthood. PANDA operates Australia’s only National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline for individuals, their families, support people and health care providers. Our phone and online services provide access to counselling and information to support mental health and wellbeing, informed by evidence-informed mental healthcare practice, and the expertise of people with a lived experience. PANDA recognises that becoming a parent is a big transition. It can impact your personal identity, family dynamics and relationships with yourself, your baby and others. Our free services play an important role in assisting new and expecting parents, and supporting the people around you during this transition. We support all families, especially those facing barriers accessing mainstream services. PANDA’s vision is a world where perinatal mental health is understood and valued. Our Helpline, 1300 726 306, operates Monday to Saturday (and public holidays) from 9am – 7:30pm Monday to Friday and 9-4pm Saturdays, AEST and is staffed by trained and experienced counsellors and volunteers.

List of Services:

PANDA National Helpline PANDA’s National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline is Australia’s only free, national helpline service for families impacted by perinatal mental health and wellbeing challenges. The PANDA National Helpline provides a safe, confidential space for any new or expecting parent coping with the challenges of becoming a new parent. The Helpline is staffed by qualified counsellors and peer support workers (practitioners and lived experience volunteers), who help you work through challenges by talking openly and honestly about your thoughts, feelings and experiences and providing counselling, support and referrals. Counsellors are compassionate and solution focussed, and peer workers listen and support. Intensive care and counselling program PANDA Helpline’s Care and Counselling program provides ongoing counselling, consultation and service navigation support for expecting and new parents experiencing complex mental health and wellbeing challenges. We work alongside other health care providers in supporting people with high care needs.

It is important to note, the Here's to Strength Self Care Directory is here to empower you by bridging the gap of access and is not liable for the service delivered by individual providers who are working from our premises or utilising the Self Care Directory service. All services listed are registered as independent businesses with their own service agreements, insurances and policies who have requested their listing to be published in this database.
