Join us in this powerful episode as we delve into a topic often overlooked: Male Postnatal Depression. The midwives have joined forces with Andy's Man Club, a beacon in the mission to destigmatize mental health and shed light on the silent struggles many men face. While postnatal depression is commonly associated with mothers, Cathy, Lesley and Elliot's discussion challenges societal norms and explores whether men receive adequate support after welcoming a new life into the world.

Andy's Man Club advocates for a safe, non-judgmental space where men can share their inner battles openly. Together with the wisdom of the midwives, Elliot unravels the layers of emotion surrounding fatherhood and mental well-being. This episode promises a rollercoaster of emotions, as we illuminate the path towards greater understanding, support, and acceptance for fathers everywhere.
