Curated Resources For International Father’s Mental Health Day
The best, albeit late, Father’s Day gift — if we do say so ourselves
It’s father’s day and we all know it. But a lesser known but just as important occasion is the day that follows, which is International Father’s Mental Health Day. Being the head of the family is tough, but being the father is also being the backbone of the family — carrying and supporting the family. This can not only be physically draining, but also emotionally so. Hence, today, it’s time for fathers to support themselves as well and think about their own mental and emotional wellbeing. To help them out with this, MindReform has curated a list of mental health resources just for dads. The perfect (albeit late) Father’s Day gift, if we do say so ourselves.
