❤️💙 Dads & Partners Wanted 💙❤️

Join The Nest 🐣

Fatherhood can be joyful, but it can also be isolating, and both can exist at once. Are you a dad or non-birthing partner who wants to support others?

We’re launching a monthly online support group for dads and carers and we’re looking for male facilitators to host 1-hour Zoom sessions (you'd be needed for around 2 hours per month)

You’ll receive full training, supervision, and support, and help create a safe space for men to share openly.

We know that Dads can often suffer in silence lose a sense of identity and feel alone without support. Help us make them feel less alone. We know that some dads and non-birthing partners show up every day for their family, but who is available to show up for him?

Be the reason another dad speaks up, through PANDAS support services 🙌

Please apply via the link in the first comment below.

Are you a present or past service user of an NHS maternity service in England? Could you spare 35 minutes online to anonymously answer our Research Survey?

This research is funded by The Funding Network and supported by the NHS South East London Integrated Care Board, PANDAS Foundation and PANDAS Chiswick. The research will directly inform the design of a novel digital tool built by Ellescope that helps midwives better identify mental health support for their patients.

We believe that we mustn’t leave it to mothers to seek the help they might need post birth; we must empower the NHS with tools that help them to proactively identify person-appropriate support services for EVERY presenting mother.
