Who We Are

Perinatal Support Nelson

Perinatal Support Nelson was formed in 1989 by a group of women who had experienced Postnatal Depression and recognised the lack of support available for them in the region.  Since then Perinatal Support Nelson has grown to become a service that provides information and offers support through a team of trained and experienced support workers and counselors.

Our team currently consists of a board of five volunteers, two paid part time office staff members, ten qualified and in training counsellors and a small team of volunteer support workers.

 

 

What We Do
