How Are You, Dad?
New fathers also need support to maintain their mental wellbeing - a FMCH-UK project
For many parents the birth of a baby is a happy time, but for some, it can be difficult.
Evidence shows more than 1 in 8 mothers may experience mental wellbeing issues in the period of time around childbirth.
Less well known, is that up to 1 in 10 fathers may also also experience issues with their mental wellbeing when their partner is pregnant or, after the birth of their child.
How Are We Going To Do This?
Gather a list of resources for new parents
One Step at a Time
Working in collaboration with parents who have lived experience, not for profits organisations & health professionals, we would like to co-ordinate a list of easily accessible resources available to men and their partners - to help support them during parenthood.
