Becoming a new parent is a pivotal moment in any adult’s life — a moment and transition that will require mental health support for all parents, regardless of whether or not they carried the child.
Up to 25% of new fathers experience some form of postpartum depression, according to a study conducted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. And yet, a survey from family health platform Ovia Health found that 30% of partners didn’t take any parental leave after the birth of their child, either because it wasn’t available or feasible for them to do so.
