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

Did you know? Fathers are just as likely as mothers to experience depression during and after pregnancy, yet they are far less likely to receive the help they need. This condition, Peripartum Depression (PPD), affects nearly 5 million fathers (8-13%)1 in the U.S. alone, and that number doubles when mothers are also struggling.

The impact is far-reaching.
‍Left untreated, paternal depression doesn’t just affect dads—it affects entire families. Studies show that:

Fathers are often expected to "stay strong," masking their pain under societal expectations. This silence leads to untreated depression, perpetuating cycles of family stress. We can change this—but we need your help.

Your donation can transform lives.
‍
‍With your support, we can break the stigma and build a future where every family has the mental health resources they deserve. Here's how your contribution will make a difference:

Integrating Fathers into Care Plans
We’ll work with hospitals, clinics and pediatric practices to make paternal mental health screenings as routine as maternal ones.
Providing Vital Resources
By developing culturally sensitive tools, including our Fatherhood Inclusion Questionnaire, we’ll ensure all fathers—regardless of language or access—get the help they need.
Educating Healthcare Professionals
We’ll train providers to recognize and address the unique challenges faced by fathers, equipping them to offer compassionate, inclusive care.
Advocating for Policy Change
Your support will help us push for laws and systems that include fathers in family health screenings and mental health interventions.
Strengthening Families
Addressing both parents’ mental health creates stable, nurturing environments for children, fostering their long-term emotional and social well-being.

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.
