“The subject of dads’ mental health is always met with skepticism. You always get, ‘What about mom?’ in response. And moms’ mental health is important. But dads’ is, too.”

Society has long stigmatized mental health conditions for men, with the expression of mental health issues often perceived as weakness. But for this generation of men raising kids, being aware of the importance of mental health is imperative. So in honor of Men's Health Month and Father's Day, Parents and Verywell Mind partnered to survey 1,600 Dads in the US for our Dads & Mental Health Study to find out how dads are feeling, what's missing from their mental health toolkits, and take a look at the kind of support dads need to ensure mental wellness for fathers everywhere. Plus some helpful resources and insights to help dad along the way.
