Thinking about suicide or in crisis? Call or text 988. Emergency: 911. More help
You don't have to do this alone

Talk with dads who get it

Join our free message board to talk with other fathers, or try a free video support group for dads led by trained facilitators. Use a username, not your real name, if you'd rather stay anonymous.

You'll need a free account to read or post. Your first post has to be approved before others can see it. I check the board a few times a week, so that can take a few days. If tonight is hard, call or text 988.

Dads' support groups

Postpartum Support International runs free online video groups just for fathers, led by trained peer facilitators.

Share your story

Been through it? Your story could help another dad recognize what's happening. Post it on the message board, under a username if you like.

Our message board

A members-only forum where dads can vent, ask questions and check in. Posts are only visible to members, not to Google.

Message board guidelines

  • Be kind. Everyone here is carrying something.
  • Share experience, not medical advice.
  • Protect privacy. No full names, photos of others, or identifying details.
  • No selling or promotion.
  • If someone posts about self-harm, point them to crisis lines they can call or text, then flag the post. Flags reach me rather than a monitored team, so they may not be seen the same day.

This board is not a crisis service. Nobody is watching it around the clock, and nobody here can respond to an emergency. If you're in crisis, call or text 988.
