The Forum

This is your forum to write whatever you want and to use it in any way which will be helpful. Despite what it says you do not need to logon or register. You can use this forum as a guest without leaving your name, email or any other personal details.
To start just click 'Post Natal Depression' and either start a new thread or reply to an existing one.
However it would help me if users did register and gave a valid e mail address as I could then contact you if anything happened to this Forum

Who We Are & Who We Are Not

Pni.org is run by sufferers and past suffers of PNI ( survivors) for sufferers and past sufferers of PNI. We aim to support women with or who have suffered Post Natal Illness.

DISCLAIMER

Any views about any subject expressed on this forum are the opinions and views of individuals who post them. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect the views or standpoint, ethos, of the charity PNI ORG UK that runs this forum or the trustees or management. But we uphold and defend the right of women with PNI – current sufferers and survivors - and and their friends and relatives who use this forum, to express their opinions, views thoughts and feelings in whatever way is helpful to them to do so

This is a Self and Mutual Help & Support Forum. The basic philosophy is; that no one understands what it feels like to have PNI as well as someone who has or has had PNI, but we understand that at times our advice and support can be subjective at times so we do not recommend that this forum is EVER used as someone's only support or help.

Every sufferer needs input from a variety of sources such as husbands and partners, friends and relatives as well as professionals, their GP, Health Visitors and or other agencies. A Forum can only be an additional source of help and support , not the only one.

This forum is not run by health or other professionals but is run by a formally constituted charity PNI ORG UK: charity registration number 1113840.

The forum came about as one volunteer for the Association for Post Natal Illness, Veritee's, personal solution to supporting more than one person at a time , but it has grown since into a charity. Veritee is still also a volunteer for APNI and for PNI ORG UK.

We have no regular funding although we did have a one off grant from the NHS of £3000 in 2005 which we are still carefully using to run the forum.

While it is by no means required to use the forum, every little helps!
