What Bluebell PND Service in Glasgow do....

They provide counselling (free of charge) for parents affected by ante/post natal depression (PND) on a 1:1 basis, as couples and group therapy. They also have a specialist Baby Massage service for which they accept direct referrals.

The Bluebell campaign was established to raise awareness of PND and to encourage more women to come forward for help. PND affects the whole family including husbands and partners and can strike any family.

There can be many reasons for PND. Society today puts many demands on new parents, expectations are high and often mums can have little support and feel isolated. There is sometimes also a stigma attached to PND and often women will not always get the help and support they vitally need.

We know that there are more than 11500 mums diagnosed with PND in Scotland alone every year – and that is only the ones that are diagnosed.
This represents as many as 1 in 6 mums.

• Bluebell PND do not receive any statutory funding. As a Crossreach project they benefit from their financial support which goes some way towards meeting Bluebell's costs but essentially they rely on donations and the goodwill of the volunteers.A such the waiting lists for support can be long.

Every £50 raised will enable Bluebell PND to provide 1 hour's free counselling (with a creche) for a mother (or father) coping with the effects of PND. We are aiming to raise funds for a new hub to support families in the South side of Glasgow.
