Show Notes

Blogger Leah Williams from The Dearest Days and her partner had both experienced mental health problems before having their baby.

When their daughter turned out to be a “textbook difficult baby”, Leah struggled and knew she had to seek help.

Social worker and therapist Ray Medhora talks about how couples and families can support each other through postnatal depression and the major life changes of early parenthood.

If you’re a parent who needs help, speak to a maternal child health nurse from Pregnancy, Birth and Baby on 1800 882 436.

If you feel depressed or anxious, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 (Aus).
