Support For Dads & Partners
Anybody can get mental health problems when having a baby, at any time of life, irrespective of gender, age, culture or social background and this is no less true of dads/partners. 

Perinatal mental health problems are far more common than you think. In fact whilst one in 5 new mums experience them, up to one in 10 new dads or partners are also likely to develop them.  For this reason Acacia has been supporting dads and partners for many years.

Please remember that this is not a crisis service and if you or your client are feeling really mentally unwell and you are concerned you must contact the GP or a mental health professional as soon as possible.  

If you or your client are suffering a mental health crisis: 
  • In a life-threatening situation call 999.
  • The link is here to find your local phone number to access the new 24/7 NHS urgent mental health helpline for all ages.  You can use this helpline to get expert advice and assessment for children and adults and you can call for yourself or on behalf of someone else. Just enter your postcode and it then gives you the right phone number.    
  • You can also call 111 or request an urgent GP appointment.
  • Shout 85258 is a free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone who is struggling to cope. Just text SHOUT to 85258.  The text is free and anonymous on all major UK networks.
  • Alternatively, please contact your local mental health crisis team.
  • Don't forget that it's really important to keep your Midwife and/or Health Visitor informed and once you have managed to get help, they should also be contacted as a matter of urgency.
