A recent Huffington Post video explored the issue of men who experience mental health issues after the birth of their baby. Find out what NCT is doing to tackle this problem.
The experiences of dads with mental health problems before or after the birth of their child has been in the news more and more recently. At the start of December, a Huffington Post camera crew came to our head office and spoke to Sarah McMullen, NCT’s Head of Knowledge, about tackling the lack of awareness around the issue and helping fathers cope.
With recent NCT research revealing that over a third of new dads are concerned about their mental health, this is an issue we are particularly focused on. And we want to do more to talk about mental health from a father’s point of view.
If you’re a dad who has experienced perinatal mental health problems and would be prepared to speak to the media about your experiences, please do get in touch. Contact our press team on mailto:press@nct.org.uk or 0208 752 2404.
