As many of you know I had post partum psychosis in 2024. I’m raising money for APP through their miles for mum’s and babies fundraiser. My plan is to walk 150 miles in October which is the distance to our nearest mother and baby unit (a specialised psychiatric hospital where mum’s can be treated alongside their new baby). Northern Ireland remains the only nation in the UK without one.

Action on Postpartum Psychosis 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 over 1000 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.
