So my clever followers, if you were to create a session or program for dads to support their partners with Post Natal Depression what would you include? Currently thinking of a proposal to PIMHS to give Dads a way where they can feel useful and focused. Do you know of any examples or research?

These Starter Packs are super helpful so I made one of scholars who study fathers, fatherhood, and fathering. Let me know if you would like me to add someone or if you would like to be added (or be removed 😂). go.bsky.app/M4w6b6A
