Women’s Mental Health Australia

I regularly support Women’s Mental Health Australia (WMHA) with donations because they help women and children navigate mental and physical health issues, and advocate for those suffering the devastating effect of domestic violence and coercive control. Unfortunately our medical system needs to improve gender-responsive treatment, and recognise the connection between mental and physical symptoms during key life stages and transitions such as puberty, pregnancy, birth, motherhood, perimenopause and menopause. Organisations such as the WMHA provide vital research, policy reform and education programs so every woman and girl can achieve their best mental health.
