Postnatal Depression Support Network Nelson Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation that supports women and their families/whanau that are experiencing Postnatal Depression/Distress and/or Anxiety (PND).

We have been supporting the Nelson and Tasman communities since 1989, when a group of local women who had all been affected by PND, sought help from each other when they recognised the lack of support available in our community.

This support network continues today, and has adapted and grown to meet our current societies’ needs and high demand. It is made up of two paid part-time workers, seven volunteer Support Workers, three Counsellors and six Board members.

The services we offer are all free, and can be either at the clients’ home or at our offices. We provide Support Workers and qualified Counsellors, and also offer support and social groups - as isolation and feeling alone are major factors that can contribute to PND, these groups are invaluable and found to be hugely beneficial for mums.
