SMS4dads supports men in their role as fathers. SMS4dads provides information and support to dads from 12 weeks into their partners pregnancy and throughout the first year of parenthood. Information is provided via text messages. The messages are linked to the baby’s birth date, so information is relevant to the age of their baby. SMS4dads includes an interactive MoodChecker to check in on Dad and if he needs support, a trained counsellor from PANDA – Australia’s National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline, reaches out and makes contact.
