Gidget Foundation Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to support the mental health of expectant, new and potential parents to ensure they receive accessible, timely and specialist care.
Supporting perinatal mental health, together
At GAIA Skin Naturals, we believe every parent deserves to feel supported, nurtured and valued - through pregnancy, early parenthood and beyond. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Gidget Foundation Australia as our Impact Partner, helping to raise awareness of perinatal mental health and support more Australian families to access specialist care when they need it most.
Why this partnership matters
Perinatal depression and anxiety affects around 100,000 Australian parents every year. Through this partnership, we’re committed to helping amplify awareness and contribute to accessible, timely and specialist support for expectant, new and potential parents.
PNDA is a treatable mental health condition affecting around 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers.
Symptoms may start during pregnancy but can emerge or become
more apparent after birth. The onset can be gradual or more sudden. Symptoms
respond well to culturally responsive and evidence-informed approaches, so
seeking professional support early is crucial.
