With MumSpace, you can access supports that are suitable for all new parents, a little extra help when you need it, and online treatments for anxiety and
depression. You never have to feel that you are alone.
Our approach helps parents decide what support they want and need. Then, if they try one online resource and find they need more, they can select something that gives more help. If they need less support, we may have an
option that will suit them better.
“I didn’t realise that feeling tired, frustrated, tearful and overwhelmed were the signs and symptoms of depression. I just thought I was not coping. Since getting some help I recognise these can be part of depression. Now I look at things differently and I feel I will be the mum and partner I want to be.”
MumSpace is brought to you by the Perinatal Depression e-Consortium (PDeC), led by the Parent-Infant Research Institute (PIRI) in partnership with Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia (PANDA), Monash University, Jean Hailes for Women’s Health and Queensland University of Technology.
