The Father Hood talks to Professor Richard Fletcher, who has been studying fatherhood in Australia for the past 20 years. Richard leads the Fathers and Families Research Program at the University of Newcastle, and also started the SMS4dads program. In this podcast he shares his insights into why father's mental health is so important and what men can do to look after themselves. Today, 1 in 10 new dads experience perinatal anxiety & depression (Beyond Blue), and Richard believes it's more important than ever to address these issues.
