As a parent, here’s what to look out for.

ForWhen is designed to support you onto the right pathway so you can access the help you need to better manage mental health challenges as they occur. These challenges can look and feel like:

  • Anxiety, fear, or worry about your pregnancy, your baby, or yourself.
  • Worrying you’re not coping well, or not enjoying your pregnancy or newborn the way you think you should.
  • Ambivalence, or even negative feelings, about your pregnancy, or your baby.
  • Isolation and disconnection from friends, family, and the world around you.
  • Feeling overwhelmed with the responsibility of parenting, and coping strategies aren’t working.
  • A sense of hopelessness about the future.
  • Inability to manage your feelings after traumatic birth.
