Some of you might have recently received a personal message through this site with the title ‘An opportunity to share your story beyond HealthUnlocked - Share Your Story’. Please be aware that this email was not sent from APP. If you receive any direct messages or emails that you’re unsure about or would like further advice or more information on, please message an Administrator or any APP member of staff at any time.

If you are interested in sharing your story, we advise you think very carefully beforehand and make sure you understand any potential risks in going public. APP have a media panel of people who are interested in sharing their stories, who have attended APP Media workshops to find out what’s involved & to highlight possible pitfalls that could crop up. If you’d like to join the panel or are thinking of sharing your story, you can contact us for advice and support throughout the process. Email lucy@app-network.org or complete this form: app-network.org/news-events...

REMINDER: Journalists, Health Professionals & students are requested not to post in this peer support community at any point, unless they themselves have personally experienced PP. While we’re happy for you to read the posts which are public here, this community is a place where ONLY sufferers, their families & carers can connect with others who've experienced Postpartum Psychosis & recovered. Please do not contact members directly. If there is something you’d like to discuss or notify the group of, contact an Administrator or message any APP staff member (‘name_at_app’) who, if appropriate will notify the community on your behalf. Thank you.
