Back from the (freezing) beach and giving thanks to my sweet hubby for the awesome pre-40th birthday celebration with friends! Now let's get back to work …
Leading Australasian maternity wear company EGG held a fashion show in support of postnatal depression (PND)as reported by Thread:
"After hearing about the suicides of two mothers who suffered from PND, and realizing that there was an urgent need to assist in some way, EGG sponsored the production of a PND leaflet that is circulated to new mums, which aims to give them the information and ways to seek help should they feel they might be at risk, or suffering from, PND. Last night’s event was a further step in the relationship EGG have built with the Mental Health Foundationin supporting PND. Monies raised from a silent auction of sponsor’s products run during the evening will be donated to help the cause."
It's great that EGG is taking the lead on this, because apparently New Zealand provides no government funding to support women with postnatal depression. Thanks EGG!
