This webinar is on Thursday 17 July 2025 (join from 3:15pm to allow a prompt start) 3:30pm to 4:30pm.
This is open to iHV members AND non-members.
At least 1 in 10 men are known to experience poor mental health in the perinatal period. Suicide remains the leading cause of death in men under 50. There is strong evidence that fathers’ mental health has significant impacts on their babies’ health and development, and the health of their partners, during pregnancy and beyond.
Yet services for families, including health visiting, remain strongly focused on mothers, leaving many men feeling ignored, excluded and reluctant to ask for help if they are struggling.
The iHV has collaborated with Inner Eye Productions, with funding from The Burdett Trust for Nursing, to produce a powerful new film Invisible. The film follows Luke’s story as he navigates new fatherhood and seeks to understand the complexity of emotions this evokes.
Join us for this unique Insights event to experience Invisible together, to reflect on the powerful medium of film to effect change, to hear how you can use the film and its associated training package and to ask questions of our expert panel.
How does this event align to the 2022 NMC Standards of Proficiency for SCPHN Health Visiting?
Attendance at this event and engagement with the iHV reflection template will support you with demonstrating CPD activities that align to the NMC (2022) Standards of Proficiency for SCPHN Health Visiting, in particular:
C.HV4 play a significant role in promoting mental health for parents, families, infants and children during the perinatal period and in the assessment and early identification of perinatal mental ill health.
C.HV5 provide care and support to infants, children, parents and families where appropriate and facilitate access to specialist mental health services according to the level of need.
C.HV6 promote infant mental health and early identification of infant distress, providing support to families to enable them to prioritise and respond to their infant’s needs.
