A CALL TO ACTION: MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WELL-BEING OF FAMILIES

Did you know that fathers are just as likely to get depression during and after pregnancies as mothers, but are less than half as likely to get help? Peripartum depression in men remains misunderstood, unrecognized, and untreated, leading to detrimental outcomes for the whole family.

Help us bring fathers into the mental health conversation. Very few people, including healthcare professionals, know about this secret, yet troubling and growing health issue faced by many men. Peripartum Depression is more prevalent throughout the world than you might think, and it can have devastating effects on entire families — fathers, mothers, children and newborns. It is when not only the mother, but also the father, experience serious depression — before, during, and after a pregnancy. When fathers experience postpartum depression, they often struggle in silence, affecting not only themselves but their partners and children. But with your help, we can bring a crucial change. With your donation:

We can continue our work to make pre and postnatal inclusion of fathers a standard plan of obstetric care — in hospitals, clinics, birthing centers, and pediatric practices;
We will present evidence and persuade hospitals, clinics, birthing centers, and pediatric practices to incorporate the father’s health and psychological well-being into the pregnancy experience;
We will produce, introduce, and distribute our proprietary Fatherhood Inclusion Questionnaire and other important tools in multiple languages, as an ordinary and customary standard of care during and after pregnancies;
We will work with healthcare providers and policymakers to include fathers in routine health screenings during the pregnancy and beyond;
We will raise awareness about the impacts of paternal stress, and ensure both the father and the mother receive the support they need.

A growing body of studies in obstetrics, pediatric, and psychiatric journals have concurred that mental health input questionnaires followed by care for both parents will positively affect the child's mental health and future.
