Raising awareness for post partum psychosis
Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Action on Postpartum Psychosis and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
I had a post partum psychosis just over 9.5 yrs ago when I had my son. I recently only heard about this charity when I met a running friend who also had a psychosis after her twins were born 2yrs ago. I attended a mother and baby unit and met others who had experienced similar trauma after having their children. I have set up this fundraising page to raise awareness for this charity whilst I run a 10k race in a week's time. If you would like to support me and raise greater awareness for new mums with psychosis please click on donation link below.
More information about Action on Postpartum Psychosis: Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is the National charity for women and families affected by Postpartum Psychosis (PP).
PP is a severe mental illness which begins suddenly following childbirth. Over 1400 women experience PP each year in the UK (1 to 2 in every 1000 mothers).
We run an award-winning peer support service, develop patient information, offer training to frontline health professionals, facilitate research and promote greater public awareness of PP and campaign for improved services.
