The iHV is committed to raising awareness of Fathers’ mental health – and we want to share a short survey from the Fatherhood Institute www.fatherhoodinstitute.org and Fathers’ Network Scotland http://www.fathersnetwork.org.uk .

The survey asks first-time fathers about their recent (within 5 years) experiences of maternity services in Britain. We think this is an important issue and hope you can spare five minutes to fill it out yourself (if you are eligible) or share it among friends, family and work colleagues.

So far 750 fathers have already shared their experiences in the survey – it would be great to get more feedback for them – so please do share the survey link.

The closing date is 31 May, and the results will be published in time for Father’s Day on 17 June 2018.


As part of the highly acclaimed iHV Perinatal and Infant Mental Health training offers, the iHV has a one-day Fathers and Perinatal Mental Health Champion training programme for all health and social care professionals
