Gidget Foundation Australia - an organisation that provides specialist support for new and expectant parents - says early intervention is key in the healing process. But with the stigma around pregnancy loss still prominent, especially in migrant communities, this can be a challenge.

Gidget Foundation Australia, một tổ chức cung cấp hỗ trợ chuyên môn cho các bậc cha mẹ mới và những người mong muốn làm cha mẹ - cho biết can thiệp sớm là chìa khóa trong quá trình chữa lành.

This week we sat down with Jaihden who is a Sydney based mum of two girls who experienced perinatal depression and anxiety as well as postpartum depression. She bravely shares how she navigated these periods and how the experience inspired her to give back to women going through the same challenges. Jaihden sheds light and humour on some dark moments. She speaks about her challenges and blessings and how her husband and support team of health professionals kept her feeling safe through this time.For Jaihden her primary caesarean didn't affect her frame of mind or make her any less of a mother, she just wanted to have the experience of a vaginal delivery.Jaihden's VBAC is really secondary to a story of immense personal growth, bravery and the making of a mother.It's a lesson on how we can support mothers who do struggle whether it be physical or mental, and the importance of creating a village that bolsters new mothers with the right support.Jaihden has teamed up with the Gidget Foundation and Genevieve Muir from Connected Parenting to help other mums in need of support during early parenting and you can find out more by heading to the website madeformums.com.auEpisode sponsor:This episode is brought to you by Made for Mums, uniquely crafted practical hampers to support and nurture women during postpartum.

Being a father is a unique and special opportunity. But with the joy fatherhood brings come huge changes in a man's life. What can we do to support men's mental health, in particular new dads? - Isang natatangi at espesyal na pagkakataon ang pagiging isang ama. Ngunit kaakibat ng sayang dala nito ay malaking pagbabago din sa buhay ng isang lalaki. Paano nga ba higit na mapapangalagaan ang kalusugan ng isip ng mga kalalakihan lalo na ng mga bagong tatay?
Luke Grant is joined by Ben Hancock, Gidget Foundation Ambassador, regarding International Fathers' Mental Health Day - a time to focus attention on all the dads experiencing perinatal depression and anxiety (PNDA). Becoming a dad is a unique and special time but is also a time of great change, but the stigma surrounding men's mental health can prevent dads from seeking help, with almost half (43%) of first-time dads believing postnatal depression and anxiety is a sign of weakness. This International Father's Mental Health, Gidget Foundation Australia is encouraging dads to reach out for emotional support to understand what is happening to them, to feel well again and in turn be able to enjoy time with their children and partner. Dads are encouraged to watch their new video ‘Understanding Perinatal Depression and Anxiety for Dads' via the Gidget Foundation Australia website and contact their GP to start a mental health plan if they need some extra support.
