Abstract
Pregnancy and parenthood are life-changing events for every family. Whether its a first or subsequent pregnancy, support should readily be available and accessible for both parents. This time can be full of great excitement and joy, with many protective and positive long-term effects on mental health (MH).1 It can, however, also be a time of undue pressure, with a significant proportion of fathers experiencing depressive symptoms.1
