Show Notes
Our final stage! This episode is far less about the nuts and bolts of how to be a parent as Dr Garvey guides us through the mental health side of parenting. Some unbelievably useful tips in here but a huge focus on Post Natal Depression, how to recognise it in both you and your partner as well as where to go for help. Side note: rates are 10% for dads and 20% for mums - far too high.
You probably know Dr Garvey from ‘How Other Dads Dad’ hosted by a little known guy called Hamish Blake but he also has his own awesome parenting podcast called ‘Pop Culture Parenting’ where he uses pop culture references to talk through parenting tips. He’s also a genius and winner of the Churchill Fellowship. Look him up @drbillygarvey on IG and you’ll find everything there.
5 stars review please dads!
