hello !
I have come across yr web site and I am inspired by it very much.
In the UK, I believe that we at Acacia are the only Charity who have volunteers supporting moms and dads affected by Post Partum depression. I am the dads co ordinator, which is a new post ( the first I believe in the UK), and I am co ordinating volunteers to support dads locally.
I was interested by the conference information which you have posted above, and feel frustrated that I could not attend, as it may have given me some much needed info to assist in getting this off the ground in the UK. I was wondering if there is any info fm the conference that you found useful which you could kindly fwd to me here, and it is such a challenge ( as you most likely know) to raise awareness and support over here in England.
Looking fwd to yr reply
Best rgds
