    422: Behind the Sessions: International Fathers’ Mental Health Day
    Jun 12 2025
    The focus of perinatal mental health is often on mothers, but we can’t discount the importance of fathers’ mental health on children, families, and relationships. Dads everywhere are struggling, and they often do so in silence. We need to raise awareness of this aspect of mental health! The Monday after Father’s Day is International Fathers’ Mental Health Day, so I’m discussing this topic and sharing helpful information in today’s episode. Show Highlights: The messaging to boys and men from society My approach with clients and their partners is to try to reach more fathers. A compassionate approach promotes healing. M&M episodes focused on fathers and their mental health: 345: A New Father’s Experience Through His Wife’s Postpartum Psychosis with Tony Pacitti 286: Foundations in Paternal Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Daniel Singley 274: Healing from Paternal Postpartum Depression with Kevin Seldon 273: The Emotional Wellness of Fathers with Adam Angel, LCSW 242: The Value of Fathers and The Black Voice in Parenthood with Reginald Day 195: Paternal Postpartum Depression with David Levine 181: Fathers and Perinatal Mental Health with Dr. Sheehan Fisher 177: The Loss of a Wife and Mother to PPD with Steven D’Achille 23: “He’s Not Talking About It,” A Father’s Journey with Mark Williams Frightening statistics about fathers’ mental health Stigma prevents men from reporting symptoms and seeking help. Risk factors for dads are similar to those of moms. (Dads are up to 50% more likely to experience perinatal mental health issues if their partner experiences them.) Dads can feel excluded from caregiving and disconnected from mom and baby. Dads should be screened just like moms! We can do better to meet the needs of fathers! Partners should check in with each other and check on each other’s mental health.

  • 420: HappiNest: Revolutionary Emotional Wellness for Parents in India with Dr. Paridhi Mehra

    420: HappiNest: Revolutionary Emotional Wellness for Parents in India with Dr. Paridhi Mehra
    Jun 2 2025
    Many places in the world still need perinatal mental health resources. In most cases, the key to accessibility is someone with the vision and passion to take action and lead with innovation. Today’s guest is making it happen with her groundbreaking work in India, and she’s here to share her story with us! Dr. Paridhi Mehra is the founder and CEO of⁠ HappiNest⁠, India’s first dedicated platform for parental mental health. With nearly a decade of experience in health tech and public health innovation, Dr. Paridhi has led digital health solutions that improve access to healthcare for all. After experiencing firsthand the lack of awareness and support for maternal mental health in India, she founded HappiNest to bridge this gap, ensuring that every mother can access the care she deserves. She works at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and community to bring a happy start to parenthood for all. In this episode, Dr. Paridhi shares her journey, along with issues related to stigma and culture in maternal mental health. Show Highlights: Dr. Paridhi’s journey from being a dentist and entering her first pregnancy, when she immediately knew something was “off.” After her son was born, she felt like she was in a parallel universe where she didn’t know what to do or how to function. Breastfeeding challenges, sleep deprivation, and feeling disconnected and distant from her baby Cultural stigma in India about postpartum depression and the sacred role of a mother With her husband pushing her to get help, she found the support she needed. What it feels like to keep asking, “Why am I not happy?” Working on a self-discovery journey and learning to enjoy her baby Talking to a childhood friend and fellow new mom helped put Dr. Paridhi at ease, and things started to improve The birth of HappiNest to fill the gaps for families in India with care AND prevention (but the stigma still prevents many women from reaching out for help) An overview of the HappiNest program and process for offering online services Dr. Paridhi’s perspective on what needs to change in India to offer help to more people Resources: Connect with Dr. Paridhi Mehra and HappiNest:⁠ Website⁠ Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit⁠ cdph.ca.gov⁠ Please find resources in English and Spanish at⁠ Postpartum Support International⁠, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.
