Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network is supporting expectant, new and recently bereaved parents living across the Murrumbidgee region to access mental health support at Wagga Wagga’s new Gidget House.

A total of $56,250 will provide up to 10 free psychological counselling sessions to eligible parents who have a diagnosis or are at risk of developing perinatal mood or anxiety disorder. It’s part of a $4M investment in Gidget to help the 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men who suffer from perinatal mood disorders to get the assistance they need.

The announcement was made yesterday, at the Tresillian service in Glenfield Park.
