Since inception, Gidget Foundation Australia has supported more than 16,000 families through the delivery of over 126,000 free* appointments across 43 Gidget House locations nationally. The opening of South Australia’s first Gidget House builds upon Gidget Foundation Australia’s commitment to expanding services nationally to ensure parents receive accessible, timely and specialised perinatal mental health care.
“1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men experience anxiety or depression when they are expecting or have just become new parents and accessing support can be difficult.
The opening of Gidget House Elizabeth at United Way South Australia is a significant development to meet the demand for mental health support for expectant, new and potential parents in the state.
CEO of Gidget Foundation Australia, Arabella Gibson, says “In Gidget Foundation Australia’s 25th year, the establishment of our first Gidget House in South Australia is a landmark occasion. We know that parents in South Australia are struggling to access the perinatal mental health support they need, which is why it is so important for us to expand our services to reach these parents and decrease the barriers of accessing care.
“It is estimated that around 5,150 parents1 in Greater Adelaide will experience perinatal anxiety and depression each year, which is why accessibility of specialised mental health care is so important. The opening of our first Gidget House in South Australia marks an important milestone for not only our organisation but for Adelaide and the sector more broadly,” Ms Gibson says.
Gidget House Elizabeth operates in collaboration with United Way South Australia within the Elizabeth Shopping Centre. The services available at Gidget House Elizabeth are an extension to those provided to local families by United Way South Australia. Emma Brooke, CEO of United Way South Australia, welcomes the addition of Gidget Foundation Australia services to its familyfocused centre, “We are delighted to partner with Gidget Foundation Australia to provide a dedicated space for parents seeking perinatal mental health support. While United Way South Australia focuses
on the needs of young children, Gidget Foundation Australia serves the needs of parents in the perinatal period, providing families with a convenient hub of support.”
Gidget Foundation Australia and its partners acknowledge the significant challenges faced by expectant, new and potential parents, including barriers to access, stigma and the pressures of early parenthood, and remain committed to ensuring families receive accessible, timely and perinatal mental health care when they need it most.
