Critics Review
Hanley and Williams offer excellent, unique practical solutions of support around mental health during pregnancy, birth and postnatally for and by mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, family, friends and communities. It takes a village to raise a child. – Susan Pawlby, Clinical, academic developmental psychologistThis is an excellent book on support for perinatal mental health. It is simple and easy to read. And importantly, it covers much more than standard texts on mothers. It gives full attention to fathers, the child, and even includes grandparents. – Professor Vivette Glover, Imperial College London

Mark Williams is a keynote speaker, author and international campaigner. In 2004, he experienced depression following the birth of his son and his wife’s struggles. As a result, he decided that no-one else should experience what he did and made a concerted effort to ensure that fathers’ mental health was recognised and that the voice of fathers everywhere was heard. He realised it had to be a national and well as international effort and founded International Fathers Mental Health Day and #Howareyoudad campaign to make sure all parents have the support of the whole family as well as professionals. Both these achievements have received international acclaim.
