90% Informative

Deakin University study into the parenting journey of new dads reveals the complex range of emotions they feel as they adjust to their lives as fathers and supportive partners.

The research found the transition to parenthood was not an easy path as the fathers grappled with rapid changes to home and work life as well as unexpected impacts to their own and their partner's mental health.

Fathers described their journey of parenthood through the lens of their own mental health and that of their partners.

Most fathers wanted to spend more time with their children than they originally imagined but felt like the 'passenger parent'.
