Becoming a Dad

Becoming a dad is a major life change! Five new dads share their experiences. For the family unit to thrive and for baby to have the best start, the mental health and wellbeing of parents and carers is important. Sometimes dads can feel overlooked at this time. They may find it harder to discuss how the change is affecting them or to access available support.​ This film explores the journey into new fatherhood, told through the voices of five real-life dads. The dads share their expectations, experiences, emotional ups and downs, and offer advice to others. The film follows their journeys; from pregnancy and childbirth, through to the challenges of sleep deprivation and the joys of building secure connections. The film aims to promote conversation; encouraging dads to open up about their experiences and to seek help if they need it.
