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.

Several of our team have committed to running (or walking) 40 miles each in October, this represents the distance from our Perinatal Mental Health base in Leicester to the Beeches Mother and Baby Unit to recognise the distance our Mums and families may have to travel to access care when this is needed for them.

Thank you for thinking of us, and offering your support :)
