Free Conference on Dads and Postnatal Depression 7th May, 2014, Birmingham: The Fatherhood Institute

Free Conference on Dads and Postnatal Depression 7th May, 2014, Birmingham

Published: 3 April 2014

Around 7 out of every 100 new fathers will become clinically depressed in the year after their baby’s birth. The fathers most at risk are young fathers, men who are ambivalent about the pregnancy or their relationship with their baby’s mother or have experienced depression before, or whose partner becomes depressed. This FREE Birmingham conference hosts a raft of excellent speakers, including Dr Paul Ramchandani http://www.imperial.ac.uk/AP/faces/pages/read/Home.jsp?person=p.ramchandani&_adf.ctrl-state=q2nt5clae_3&_afrRedirect=283657319337701 of Imperial College, London, who is the international guru on new fathers and depression.

Free online groups for new and expectant dads during Covid-19
Dads have a critical impact on babies, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, fathers face significant extra challenges. Many dads are being excluded from NHS appointments, scans or early labour, and access to health visitors or other family support is limited. That’s why we’re teaming up with Best Beginnings to run small online groups for dads, under a Barnardo’s programme funded by the Department for Education.
