Like many others this Father’s Day, I will be faced with a public celebration that now merely marks the absence of someone I love.
Father’s Day and a Bereavement
Fathers Mental Health Day
Too often it’s the case that Dads’ mental health is overlooked in the challenging months after welcoming a child into the family. There has been research into same-sex and adoptive parents experiencing depression in the post-partum as well, but these situations often go under the radar. Fathers’ Mental Health Day is setting out to change this worldwide, and provide father figures everywhere with the information, resources and support needed to maintain positive mental wellbeing.
