APNI (Association for Post-Natal Illness) is the UK’s leading charity dedicated to supporting anyone affected by post-natal illness, including post-natal depression. We offer free, confidential support to mothers, partners, family, and friends who are struggling after childbirth.
If you are experiencing post-natal depression or related symptoms, you are not alone. Our friendly volunteers—many of whom have personal experience of post-natal depression—are available to talk, listen, and offer advice. You can reach us by phone, email, or live chat on our website.

We also provide information for carers, partners, and health professionals, and work to raise awareness and encourage research into post-natal illness. Our website features resources, leaflets, and advice for families and professionals.
All support is free and confidential. You do not need a referral—just get in touch when you need help.
