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.

I'm taking on this 8-mile challenge for APP after a difficult few months, during which my daughter struggled with postpartum psychosis shortly after the birth of her son. APP has been an incredible support, not just for my daughter but for our entire family. Thankfully, she is now recovering well and enjoying life with her baby boy.
