Social Media Guidelines
The Antenatal & Postnatal Psychology Network (APPN) uses social media to share information that may (or may not) be of interest to women and couples anticipating becoming parents or who are parents. Information we post includes articles shared from other websites (relevant to perinatal psychology, early parenting), articles written by members of the APPN, updates about groups being run, and updates about new clinic locations.
Please consider your privacy if you choose to follow us on Facebook or 'like' our posts. Please note that following us on Facebook is not a request for an endorsement of our service (indeed the solicitation of testimonials is prohibited by the Australian Psychological Society and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). In the interests of confidentiality please contact us directly via phone or email to discuss your particular circumstances. Our contact details are on this website.
This website contains articles that we share under "Resources", "Information Posts". Readers are free to share these posts on social media. Please consider your privacy when sharing (as you normally would when using social media).
We have also published a series of memes entitled "pregnancy pearls" and "parenting pearls". These memes are designed to be simple, supportive, reminders to parents. These memes (and the articles we post) are not intended to replace therapy, they are intended to be for general use. To share a meme from our website, do the following:
The APPN uses Twitter and LinkedIn to share and receive professional information from colleagues and related organisations. This allows us to receive updated information that may be of use to share through our Facebook site, and/or on our "Information Posts".

If you are a previous or current client wishing to 'like' or share an article or meme from either this website, or our Facebook page, please consider your privacy when doing so. There will be no information revealed about you by the APPN on this website or in social media (in accordance with the ethical guidelines that govern the practice of Psychology).
