Looking after fathers’ mental health

What do new and expectant fathers need to help them on their journey into parenthood? There’s a lot to learn and potential stressors like sleep deprivation or financial insecurity mean it can be a pretty challenging time. More support, better screening programmes and mental health services are very much needed. And this year on International Fathers’ Mental Health day we have news of some free support available to dads from July onwards.
