Three years old

---

It's been three years since the Antenatal & Postnatal Psychology Network formed. We now have 13 psychologists in 14 locations around Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Our collaboration means that timely perinatal psychology services have been provided to many women and couples who have struggled with mood disturbances, anxiety, stress, and grief during pregnancy, the postnatal period or the early parenting years. We are delighted to be working alongside the Perinatal Psychiatry Network in order to ensure that our clients have access to specialist psychiatry services, when medication might be part of their recovery.

I am grateful to the psychologists who have joined our network for their endless dedication and professionalism, and thank them for their contributions towards our ongoing professional development in the field. Thank you to the gps, obstetricians, midwives, maternal & child health nurses, and other health providers for referring your patients to APPN.

Helping women and couples at one of the most profound times in their lives is both meaningful and a priviledge for psychologists who are passionate about perinatal mental health. Needless to say "we love what we do". Happy Birthday APPN.
