What does House Of Light do?
House of Light is run by Karan Cunningham & Joanne
Morton who have both suffered PND severely. What we found
was that talking to someone who had suffered and recovered
from the illness helped enormously.
We offer:-
1-1 visits, many mums feel unable to leave the house, therefore
we can visits mothers in their own homes to offer advice,
comfort and support.
Group Sessions - for women who feel able to attend groups
with other mums who feel exactly the same. To build friendships
and share feelings and ways to manage the illness.
E-mail support - For women
who may wish to remain anonymous but would like help.
Relationships can be built up in this way.
Telephone help line support - we are available
to take calls on our free phone number:- 0800 043 2031 to
offer advice and support.
Act as an advocate for women with the illness. PND can
rob you of your self confidence, therefore we will act on
women’s behalf when required.
We offer support and advice
to partners or carers of someone who is experiencing the
illness.
We also aim to research into PND and it’s causes
and effects and to raise public awareness of the illness,
that is still misunderstood by many. We will break the stigma
that is wrongly attached to the illness.
