APNI is a charity that runs a helpline (via telephone, email, online chat) for women affected by postnatal illness as well as their families. Our helpline is open Monday-Friday 10am-2pm. We also have a group of volunteers who are mothers who have had PND and now fully recovered.

The Association for Post-Natal Illness is a Registered Charity (No. 280510) established in 1979 to:
- Provide support to mothers suffering from post-natal illness;
- Increase public awareness of the illness;
- To encourage research into its cause and nature.
The work of the Association is essential as post-natal illness affects between 70,000 and 100,000 women and their families in the UK every year. It is rightly called 'the silent epidemic'.
The Association provides a helpline, information leaflets for sufferers and healthcare professionals as well as a network of volunteers who have themselves experienced postnatal illness. For a printed information pack, please email info@apni.org or telephone 02073860868.
