International Fathers' Mental Health Day: Test Drive Baby Buddy 2.0

Happy International Fathers' Mental Health Day!

To celebrate the crucial role of fathers and the importance of paternal mental health, Best Beginnings is inviting dads and dads-to-be to 'test drive' a new version of the Baby Buddy app.

This new app will provide daily information for fathers every day from conception to your baby's 1st birthday.

This is your chance to take a sneak peak, share some feedback and let us know what improvements we can make before the app is publicly launched.

If you're interested in taking part, please answer the questions below.

After you have completed this form, one of our team will be in touch as soon as we can to share your next steps.

Please also feel free to share this form with other new and expectant fathers, mothers, co-parents and other caregivers. All are welcome!

Your personal information will be used only for the purposes you select in completing this form. All of your details will be stored securely in line with GDPR.
