Dr Elliott from The Hummingbird Centre and Melanie Sargeant from NHM

In a recent NSW COPE survey 48% of women that had experienced post natal anxiety or depression said they “hid their true feelings from their family and friends” because of high expectation, shame and denial Dr Rikkii and Mel Sargeant jumped out of a plane at 1500 feet above the ground to encourage Mums to speak up and get back to enjoying their families. If you need help talk to a friend, your GP or contact The Hummingbird Centre today. Thanks to Newcastle’s premier creative agency Out Of The Square for their help producing our Mother Jump!.
