New Dads
Becoming a dad is a huge life change - it’s ok not to feel ok. If you’re experiencing low moods, anxiety or depression, having difficulty bonding with your baby, struggling with relationships or feeling isolated? You’re not alone. Research shows that 14% of new Dads experience poor mental health during the perinatal period. We match new Dads with highly-trained peer support volunteers, who are more experienced Dads/Mums, to give emotional support. More information can be found here: PS Dads Rock
