You can find support and help through lots of different places including:

your primary health care professional or general practitioner (GP)
community mental health services through your local district health board(external link)
support groups in your area(external link)
Depression website(external link)
Information about depression and who you can contact for help
Lowdown website(external link)
Information for young people, with text and email support.

You can also find support by doing a free Parenting Through Separation course which gives people practical advice to deal with separation.

The Family Dispute Resolution service offers mediation to help people agree on the care of their child.
