Our Perinatal Mental Health Partnership  

The truth is...

All new and expectant parents go through ups and downs. 

All new and expectant parents go through ups and downs. But for some, the downs can dip too low and the challenges they face can affect their mental health.. Perinatal anxiety or depression affects around 100,000 families across Australia every year.

Unfortunately, a lack of awareness, shame and stigma can mean that some parents don’t feel able to speak about their experiences or seek support and treatment.

That's something we want to change.

What's our Mission?

For almost six decades, the heart of the Tommee Tippee brand has been focused on providing innovative, safe, and trusted products to help make the practical side of parenting that little bit easier.


However, we can’t ignore the reality that parenting needs more compassion, we believe that everyone’s every day is different, and that’s ok.  For too long, comparison, criticism and doubt has conspired to shatter parent's confidence to do it their way.


The mental load of parenthood is real, and we want to help shine a light on the discussion surrounding mental health and the emotional journey of becoming and being a parent.


Recognising that we’re stronger together, we're committed to supporting the vital and life changing work of Perinatal Mental Health charities around the world.


Here in Australia, we are honoured to work with and support the Centre of Perinatal Excellence and Mama Tribe. From world-leading research to change the face of perinatal mental health care and policy, to national, virtual, and in-person communities, COPE and Mama Tribe strive to ensure that no mum feels lonely, isolated or without support. 
Our hopes and goals are that fewer parents suffer, that the emotional journey of becoming and being a parent is smoother and that when help is needed, it's available, equal, and effective for all.


So, we're building a new community that welcomes and supports mums and dads.


A judgement-free zone where they feel reassured and have access to support and impartial guidance.
A place where they're not just seen, they’re heard.

 

Because the truth is... 

Becoming and being a parent can be hard, but you’re not alone and there is help.
