25 years ago, one family's grief became a promise that has supported over 17,000 Australian families. A vibrant young mum nicknamed Gidget died by suicide while experiencing postnatal depression, a diagnosis that she kept to herself. Together, her loving family and friends created Gidget Foundation Australia, determined that what happened to Gidget would not happen to others. Today, we launch our 25th anniversary campaign, honouring the extraordinary legacy that Gidget's family and friends have created in her memory, and the thousands of parents whose lives have been changed because of it. To honour this milestone, we are proud to share 25 extraordinary stories from parents across Australia who found their way through, one for every year of our journey. These are stories of grief and loss, of fear and uncertainty, of asking for help and of finding it. They are stories of resilience and proof that with the right support, there is always a way through.
