Mental Health Checklist in 40 languages
PANDA's Mental Health Checklist is now available in 40 languages.
The checklist allows parents to check in with their feelings, behaviours, and relationships. It then produces a summary at the end which they can use to communicate with their doctor, midwife, maternal and child health nurse, or other healthcare providers.
Below you can find videos and images that you can share on social media with your community or with parents to encourage them to check in on their mental health via the Mental Health Checklist.

Shan's story
"I didn't know what perinatal anxiety and depression was in Chinese and it's not a condition that was commonplace to discuss with my parents, or them with their friends. I found it difficult to find language and culturally appropriate resources to give them to them until I found the Chinese language information brochure on the PANDA website."

Talk with friends or family
Consider talking about how you are feeling with someone you trust. This might be a friend or family member. Once you starting talking you might be surprised at how many others have had similar experiences and the support they can provide you.
Talk with your doctor
Talking with your doctor can be an important step to getting the help you need. They should be able to give you non-judgemental support, assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing care and treatment. They can also refer you to specialists such as a counsellor, psychologist or psychiatrist.
Get help now
