Review NHS mental health support for new fathers and birth partners

Petition Details

The impact on the whole family when a parent has poor mental health can have lasting effects. As part of the emphasis on infant mental health and giving children the best start in life, we need parents to have the mental health support they need from the beginning of the perinatal period.

Additional Information

This review should consider the needs of those suffering from: anxiety, baby loss or child loss, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), depression, birth trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), baby with neonatal stay, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar, schizophrenia, eating disorder or from having been a victim of abuse.
