CDH Australia
About the organisation
We’re the only Australian charity providing support for families, friends and medical professionals affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia(CDH). We support families throughout their CDH journey; expectant parents of a baby diagnosed with CDH, families caring for a CDH child, adults with CDH and bereaved families. We seek to minimise the social, financial and mental health impacts of CDH.
WHAT WE DO
Some of the practical ways we help CDH families include:
• producing and distributing educational content about CDH
• facilitating face-to-face health and wellness forums for CDH families
• hosting awareness day picnics to raise funds and strengthen our community,
• providing support services through peer-matching and online support groups.
Our support service team members are parents with personal experience of CDH, who understand the issues families face and will support you with compassion and empathy.
