PND Wellington has always relied on the commitment and hard work of many volunteers, indeed it's very beginnings sprung from the visions of a small group of women and their families. It could not survive without the generous and knowledgeable support of our Volunteers. PND Wellington continues to value and rely on the many volunteers who help to provide the valuable services to the community to achieve its mission.

"This isn't what I was expecting!"

If you have experienced post/ante natal distress you will know what it feels like to talk to mums who are happy and contented - it's really hard. There is still a stigma about not coping and feeling anxious about motherhood.

      Would you like to be a Telephone Supporter?
      We need lots of volunteers
      We get at least 7 - 10 new referrals a month
      A couple of hours a month could mean so much to a mum who is experiencing that overwhelmed feeling and doesn't know who to talk to
      Volunteering encourages personal development, broadening of experience and life enrichment

PND Wellington Telephone Supporters:

      Want to be able to support those experiencing post/ante natal distress and give back
      Are women who have experienced post/ante natal distress or depression or
      Who have a working experience of post/ante natal distress or
      Have recovered or improved to a point where they are able to manage and feel in control of their lives again
      Are women who have usually received phone support from a volunteer
      May have attended one of the PND Therapy Support groups
      Have empathy and experience which is invaluable for listening to those in crisis
      Will attend our Telephone Supporter Training & can commit to having one client and phoning regularly (½ hour per week/fortnight)
