Does the illness impact on their children? COPMI has created a suite of materials for dads who have (or their partner has) a mental illness to help them with their parenting. Because men are often overlooked when it comes to children, this information speaks directly to ‘dad'. Dad's input and influence in his child’s life shouldn’t be underestimated.

Web pages, online videos and information sheets with practical information, tips and stories under six themes will help dads be their best for their children.

  •  Parenting: Being a dad
  •  Understanding and managing mental illness
  •  Looking after your emotional wellbeing
  •  Looking after your physical wellbeing
  •  Partners in parenting
  •  Finding support

Developed and tested with consumers, carers and health professionals this information will soon be available on our redesigned website. These materials were produced with funding from the Australian Government and will be launched by the Minister for Mental Health, the Hon Mark Butler in mid April.

Just email us your post details and we'll send you a pack which includes ...

  •  Poster for your work setting
  •  25 x wallet cards to lead dads to the website
  •  25 x 6 themed information sheets
  •  Mouse mat with tips for talking to patients/clients about parenting.

Go on, do it for the kids! Email your order now.
