Mental Health for Fathers

Information about mental health for migrant and refugee fathers.

Feeling sad after childbirth is a reaction to hormonal changes that happen before, during and after the birth of the baby. This is commonly known as ‘baby blues’ or `postpartum blues’ which usually affects mothers, but statistics have shown that 25% of fathers experience it as well. It is a temporary and short-lived mental health disorder causing mood swings and bouts of sadness.18

Several helplines are available to support you and your partner following childbirth.
