About Fathers Reaching Out

Our mission is to reduce stigma and promote open conversations surrounding fathers' mental well-being. The "Fathers Reaching Out" lobby group is dedicated to advocating for the mental health and wellbeing of fathers. Recognizing that mental health issues, including postpartum depression and anxiety, affect a significant number of dads, this group aims to raise awareness, promote support services, and influence policy changes that benefit fathers and their families.

Our organization actively advocates for fathers' mental health rights and publishes reports highlighting the issues and impact of mental health on new fathers. We believe in the power of education and awareness to drive positive change.

1. Collaboration with Experts: Partnering with mental health professionals, researchers, and organizations to develop evidence-based resources and tools for fathers facing mental health challenges.

2. Policy Influence: Working with policymakers to ensure that fathers have access to necessary mental health services, parental leave, and family support initiatives.

3. International Fathers Mental Health Day is observed to raise awareness about the mental health challenges that fathers face, promote support, and encourage open discussions about fatherhood and mental wellbeing. Established to highlight the importance of paternal mental health, the day aims to combat the stigma surrounding men's mental health issues, particularly in the context of parenting.
