Story

In 2017 after the birth of our first son my wife suffered with Postpartum Psychosis, a rare, and frightening mental illness that neither of us had heard of before. They spent 8 weeks in a mother and baby unit 65 miles from our home. I am raising money for this charity as it means a lot to our family, and hope it will help others who were in our position.

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is a UK charity. We’re here to make sure mums, parents and families are supported through postpartum psychosis – a severe, but treatable, form of mental illness that occurs after having a baby and affects 1400 new mums in the UK each year.

We offer information and peer support, facilitate ground breaking research, raise awareness and campaign for improved services.

Our life changing peer support network helps women and families affected by postpartum psychosis feel understood, supported and less isolated.
