Episode Details

A mother’s tragic death 25 years ago ignited a national movement for perinatal mental health, leading to the birth of Gidget Foundation Australia — now a lifeline for thousands of expectant and new parents. Despite rising awareness and record-breaking support, a shocking 80% of parents with perinatal depression or anxiety never seek help, trapped by shame, self-doubt, and fear of judgment. Yet, the foundation has already delivered over 135,000 free therapy sessions to 17,500 families, with 200+ clinicians nationwide and new centers opening. Their mission? To ensure no parent faces this journey alone — turning personal tragedy into a powerful, nationwide safety net.
