The Mellow Dads-to-be programme, part of the Mellow Parenting initiative, aims to reduce antenatal stress and support emotional wellbeing through calm, supportive group environments led by trained facilitators. This group intervention focuses on wellbeing and peer connection, providing expecting parents with time and space to reflect, feel supported, and begin forming a positive, nurturing connection with their baby before birth. Mellow is a programme of 7 weekly group sessions that use a trauma-informed and evidence based approach to build safe, responsive and nurturing relationships, supported by interactive tools and practical local signposting options. Our practitioners facilitate a safe, non-judgmental space where expecting parents can share concerns and ask questions freely. To join the group, please submit a referral via our website or speak to your midwife. For dads whose partner is in the second trimester (18-32 weeks of pregnancy).
