APP have done vital campaigning for a mother and baby unit in Northern Ireland, something which if it had of been available for me when I became unwell after having Freddie, would have allowed me to get the proper treatment and would have made my healing journey a whole lot easier!

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.
