<p><strong>Each month in Our stories, we’re presenting a snapshot of services based off the perspectives of both service users and service providers.</strong></p>
<p>This month’s service profile focuses on the Sunshine Parenting Program (SPP), a six-week postnatal wellbeing program for mothers who are struggling with their mental health, run by Brisbane’s Peach Tree Perinatal Wellness Inc.</p>
<p>SPP was designed by two Brisbane mums, Viv Kissane and Rani Farmer who both have first-hand experience of perinatal challenges. Viv’s experiences with perinatal mental illness encouraged her to establish Peach Tree Perinatal Wellness Inc in 2011.</p>
<p>‘I’m the mother of three children, and I experienced firsthand the devastating impact of perinatal mental illness,’ said Viv. ‘I was determined to offer other parents the support I wish I’d had. I established Peach Tree to provide compassionate, peer-led services and education.’</p>
<p>‘Our home here at Peach Tree House is like a parent wellbeing centre,’ said Viv.<br /></p>
