Thought it would be great to put our collective knowledge together here and post links for good quality resources for health professionals.

If you are a health professional member of our forum, do also let your colleagues know that they can find us here and on Twitter @ActionOnPP

This is really useful Naomi, thanks. Here's one I can add, the Mother & Baby Unit (MBU) pages are still in development though so it's best to check back regularly.

I, personally, have been involved with this wonderful organization.

Postpartum Support International (PSI): postpartum.net

PSI is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote awareness, prevention and treatment of mental health issues related to childbearing in every country worldwide.

It is the vision of PSI that every woman and family worldwide will have access to information, social support, and informed professional care to deal with mental health issues related to childbearing. PSI promotes this vision through advocacy and collaboration, and by educating and training the professional community and the public.
