Pregnancy and having a baby is a special and memorable time in a parent’s life, however, it can be a difficult time too. A variety of emotions, experiences and expectations can get in the way of how you might feel as a parent and how you feel about your baby.
More than 1 in 10 mothers and 3 in 10 fathers can experience some type of mental health problem during pregnancy and in the first years of their child’s life.
Sometimes when the mother, father or partner is not mentally well, they can benefit from support around the relationship with their baby. We want to ensure parents have the support they need so that they can feel physically and mentally well and go on to develop their relationship with their baby.
