Acacia Family Support - Ante and postnatal depression support services

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 Acacia is not a crisis service and if you are feeling really unwell with your mental health and are concerned you must contact your GP or mental health professional as soon as possible.   If you feel like you are suffering a mental health crisis: 
  • In a life-threatening crisis situation call 999.
  • Alternatively ring 111 and select the mental health option or go to 111 online.  111 will tell you the right place to get help. You may be able to speak to a trained mental health professional over the phone and they can help with making an urgent GP appointment.
  • In Birmingham and Solihull, those already engaging with mental health services are asked to continue to contact their existing service. Contact telephone numbers will be in care plans and treatment plan letters.
You can also
  • Call 116 123 to talk to Samaritans.  Click the link to see what other crisis services they can provide.
  • Text "SHOUT" to 85258 to contact the Shout Crisis Text Line, or text "YM" to the same number if you're under 19
  • And, if you have a Midwife and/or Health Visitor contact them as a matter of urgency.
