The early days can be tough.
But you can help.
Your gift will help provide critical mental health care to more expectant, new and potential parents struggling with perinatal depression and anxiety (PNDA).
Gidget Giving Day has been extended until midnight on 30 June! Donate now to double your impact and make the most of tax-time giving.
We’ve set an ambitious goal: $160,000 to reach more families like Brittany’s—who turned to us after the tragic loss of her first baby. We can’t do it without you.
Right now in Australia, 1 in 5 mums and 1 in 10 dads are struggling with PNDA—around 100,000 parents every year. And those numbers are rising.
Without early intervention, PNDA can have devastating long-term effects—not just for parents, but for their babies and families too. But with your help, we can give them the support they urgently need.
Will you help us reach them?
Make an early donation now to help brighten the path for struggling parents.
Your support can change lives
Brittany wore a smile in public, but alone she was crumbling. Intrusive thoughts played on her mind like movies. After the time in NICU, she couldn’t shake the sterile habits and started showering 5 times a day.
After losing her first baby Lennox prematurely, Brittany was crippled by grief and felt so alone despite the support, “Words could not describe the pain.”
She courageously began her IVF journey again. But fear and anxiety continued to shadow her. Even after birth, the trauma lingered, pulling her into the “viciousness of postpartum anxiety and depression”.
The turning point came when Brittany found support through her Gidget Clinician.
“What I needed was to pour my heart out and have someone listen without judgement".
Her clinician's compassion gave Brittany the space to process her grief. For the first time, she felt safe and supported. And slowly, healing began.
Read her “Letter to My Younger Self” and see the lifechanging impact of your support.

I received some Gidget Foundation books as a gift when my daughter was born. She was my tenth pregnancy and first live born. These beautiful books are a joy to read.
