Dads, we see you.
Many fathers struggle with identity shifts, sleep deprivation and financial pressure amidst other stressors. Yet, the needs of fathers are often overlooked or dismissed.
Dads, are you struggling but feeling like no one quite understands how you feel?
You are not alone.
According to international research, about 1 in 10 fathers experiences depression and anxiety during the perinatal period. In Singapore, postpartum depression for fathers are unfortunately not routinely assessed, making early intervention difficult.
Although seldom discussed, expectant and new fathers may also experience a range of feelings, from excitement to anxiety and stress.
Many fathers struggle but feel that they do not have the right to struggle or know where to seek help.
At Kindred Haven, we hope to change that. We provide specialised support and community circles for fathers during this critical time period.
Your mental health is important.
Dads, you deserve support too.
Taking care of your mental health is an important part of taking care of your family’s wellbeing and child’s development.
Some of the common areas that fathers have sought help from us include:
Managing the anticipation and anxiety that can accompany new fatherhood.
Processing emotions related to fertility challenges or reproductive struggles.
Recognising and managing stress, depression, or other mental health concerns.
Addressing feelings of isolation, disconnection, rage and overwhelm.
Navigating changes in intimacy and relationship dynamics.
Managing differences in parenting styles and conflict within the relationship.
Adapting to changes in lifestyle, work commitments, sleep patterns, and daily routines.
