About author
Mark is a husband, father, author and international campaigner. He has been raising awareness of perinatal mental health for dads for over 10 years. He founded International Fathers Mental Health Day, and the #HowAreYouDad Campaign. After suffering from depression following the birth of his eldest child, Mark embarked on a huge journey to recovery. A journey that took much longer because his depression wasn’t diagnosed early, nor was a link to perinatal mental health made. Mark works tirelessly to increase awareness of the issues faced by new fathers.
