Episode 29 - Paternal Mental Health - Support for fathers who experience birth trauma

Send us a text

In this episode, I am talking to Scott Mair about Paternal Mental Health!!

We get into a discussion about why it is important that all pregnant women and their birth partners should know that if the birth doesn't go according to plan, especially if interventions occur, then it is not uncommon for one or both parents to feel traumatised. 

While there is typically support available for the postnatal woman, there is little consideration for the birth partner or dad, who may have been affected by the experience but is unable to share their feelings or understand them.     

Scott Mair, runs PMH Support, helping fathers to receive help and information about paternal mental health, particularly around birth trauma.
