National perinatal mental health support for expecting and new parents.
ForWhen is a new national service that connects parents experiencing moderate to severe perinatal mental health issues navigating the complex waters of pregnancy and new parenthood to the critical mental health services they need most.


ForWhen is the first support line of its kind.
ForWhen is a stepped care support service for parents and families experiencing perinatal mental health concerns and challenges. It’s designed to provide new parents—mothers, fathers, and carers—with a caring, supporting, and timely mental health navigation service in their local area.
Operating in partnership with local organisations and service providers, we connect parents to the support they need at the right time, in the right place, to improve new and expecting parents experiencing any form of mental health challenges, from conception up until your child is 12 months old.
Parents experience seamless service delivery, feel heard and supported, and are connected to services that best match their needs.
Our goal is to improve access and connection to vital perinatal mental health support services, by providing parents with a support service for when they need it.

Who is this service for?
ForWhen is designed to support parents onto the right pathway so they can access the help they need to better manage mental health challenges as they occur.Â
ForWhen is designed to help parents during pregnancy and in the first year following birth, who are experiencing any form of mental health challenges.
