T o d ay s               Speakers
                               Allison Langdon
    In 2017, Allison Langdon became an Ambassador for Gidget Foundation Australia.
She is a reporter for 60 Minutes and co-host of The Weekend Today Show, having spent the
                 past 17 years working as a journalist for the Nine Network.

                        Langdon started on Nine’s flagship current affairs program 60
                        Minutes in 2011, and has covered many major international stories.
                        She interviewed Al-Shabaab terrorists just days before their
                         execution in Somalia. In 2014 she travelled deep into the Amazon
                         after the Brazilian Government approved the world’s third largest
                          hydro dam that would have flooded the homes of thousands of
                          Kayapo Indians. Langdon’s report formed the basis of a court case
                          which saw the dam decision overturned. She was also the only
                           Australian journalist who made it into Cameroon to cover the
                           plane crash that killed six Australian mining executives.

                           She wrote the book The Child Who Never Was –The Tegan
                           Lane Story (released in 2007) after covering the inquest into
                           the disappearance of the baby born to former water polo
                           champion, Keli Lane. In December 2010, Lane was convicted of
                            the baby’s murder. She’s married with a young son.

                               T a n y a D av i e s
       Tanya Davies is the Member for Mulgoa and the NSW Minister for Women,
               Mental Health and Ageing in the Berejiklian government.

              In her role as Minister for Women, Tanya represents
      around 3.8 million women across NSW. She is committed to
     hearing first-hand about the issues that affect them every day
        and is passionate about building an equitable, inclusive and
            safe society where all women are valued and respected.

          An area of particular interest for Tanya is helping women
          to support each other, especially in professional settings.
    She believes women can be immensely valuable to each other by
              standing together to develop strong support networks
                              where women can fulfil their potential.

  As a mother herself, Tanya is passionate about ensuring all children
     across this State grow up in strong, safe and caring communities
                           where their individual potential flourishes.
GIDGET LADIES LUNCH FRIDAY 4TH MAY 2018 - ICC, GRAND BALLROOM, DARLING HARBOUR - Gidget Foundation
D r V i j ay R o a c h
                            Chairman, Gidget Foundation Australia

         Welcome to the 2018 Gidget Foundation Glitter and Sparkle Ladies’ Lunch.
    When you thought it wasn’t possible, the Gidget Foundation’s indefatigable committee
    has broken new ground! Today’s success is testimony to your wonderful support and the
      importance of raising awareness of mental health in pregnancy and for new parents.
                            As we talk and laugh and talk some more, pause and reflect on the
                            value of kindness and generosity of spirit. The Gidget Foundation
                            can raise awareness and provide pathways to care but the power for
                           change lies with you. Ask a friend how she feels. Offer her a
                           listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, a comforting embrace. Make the
                           world a better place through compassion, warmth and love.
                          At the Ladies’ Lunch we honour mothers and fathers and the
                          importance of parents. We remember those who are not here, our
                          loved ones who live in our hearts. We reach out to those for whom
                          anxiety and depression is a burden and a barrier to happiness. We will
                          make magic today at the Ladies’ Lunch.
                         Let’s share that spirit with those we love and, in some small way, make
                         the journey a little better for those in need.

                                Arabella Gibson
                              CEO, Gidget Foundation Australia

  It is a privilege and great honour to lead Gidget Foundation Australia as we build on recent
   growth, while ensuring that we maintain Gidget’s kind soul and loving essence in all we do.
   As a for purpose organisation, we are committed to providing sustainable prevention and
 treatment programs. While we have made an incredible impact in the perinatal mental health
             space to date, and already support a number of families, there are still
                        many more across Australia that need our help.
 And it is with your help that we can achieve our mission to not only
            drive awareness about perinatal depression and anxiety,
        but also to develop, build and drive these programs for both
           early intervention and treatment to ensure that vulnerable
                        parents go on to live happy and fulfilling lives.
           As a mother myself, I am passionate about shining a bright
 (and sparkly!) light on our cause and creating real change within the
               community. Let’s make a commitment to look after our
 collective wellbeing, aim for less pressure, manageable expectations
                     and more happy moments with those that we love.

We must end the silence and stigma. So, let’s do it for our children and
            let’s do it for their children. Because family is everything.

Join us as Gidget goes

                       Cape to Cape

  Experience the full diversity of the South West in WA with an adventure of a lifetime on a
   Cape to Cape end-to-end ultimate experience. Journey over 135km along the spectacular
coastline from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin raising awareness for the power of movement
 as a coping strategy for post-natal depression and anxiety. As a team we will hike to fundraise
               $50,000 to support the Gidget Foundation’s very important work.

         The Cape to Cape experience centres on seven days of hiking over wide and
         varied terrain, offering an array of sites and natural processes to wonder at.
       The experience is a moderate level hike covering 16-22km each day; sound fitness
                       is recommended prior to undertaking the journey.

   The hike includes stunning and wild coastal landscapes, physical challenge, and awesome
            fun with great friends (and no parental responsibilities for the week!).

  The dates are Sunday 18 November to Monday 26th November; it’s eight nights but you can
 leave earlier should you need to. The hike will finish on the 25th and then later that day there
              will be yoga, massages and a send off dinner, flying out the next day.

ABOUT US
            Gidget Foundation Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that provides
           programs to support the emotional wellbeing of expectant and new parents.
   The Gidget Foundation evokes Gidget’s warmth and lively spirit. Established by Gidget’s
 friends and sisters, the Foundation has grown and is now supported by passionate individuals,
                           community leaders and health professionals.
 Nearly 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers will experience perinatal depression and anxiety that
is often hidden and not fully understood. It impacts around 100,000 Australians each year, and
                suicide is the leading cause of maternal death. Nearly 50% of all
                             parents experience adjustment disorders.

 Programs include:
 • Gidget Emotional Wellbeing Screening Program
 Pre-admission midwife support for pregnant women at selected hospitals.
 • Gidget House
 10 free clinical psychological sessions for expectant and new parents in
 person at various locations.
 • Start Talking Telehealth Program
 Seven free clinical psychological sessions for expectant and new parents via Video Call.
 • Gidget Emotional Wellbeing Workplace Program
 Tailored programmes for employees and management to promote engagement and
 develop strategies for mentally healthy workplaces.
 • Education, Research & Online
 Tools for the community and health professionals as well as professional medical
 contribution to media and professional publications.

     Gidget Foundation Australia is supported by the generosity of philanthropic individuals
                    and businesses, as well as events such as today’s lunch.
