PANDAS Foundation

PANDAS Foundation is a UK-wide support service for families facing prenatal/antenatal and postnatal mental health challenges. We also assist businesses and organisations in supporting employees who are parents or carers. Our mission is to ensure no parent, family member or carer feels alone. How We Support Employers PANDAS works with employers across all sectors to raise awareness and improve understanding of perinatal mental health in the workplace and during the return-to-work process. We offer tailored services to help organisations support their teams. Speaker Programme We provide informative and engaging presentations on perinatal mental health, delivered in person or virtually. These can be adapted for 1:1 sessions, large-scale events, or podcast interviews. We’ve partnered with numerous organisations to raise awareness and improve workplace culture around parental mental health.
