Abstract

The transition to parenthood can present significant challenges. Many new parents report experiencing stress, depression and anxiety across the perinatal period, as well as difficulty with co-parenting and declines in relationship satisfaction. These factors can all have long-term impacts on parent mental health, infant development and family functioning. Early intervention for parents is important. Parents actively seek evidence-based information on child development and parenting, however, often report being inadequately supported with their own mental health. Traditional approaches to supporting parent mental health involving psychosocial and psychological therapies have often underestimated the importance of parenting support. Evidence-based parenting programs such as Triple P for Baby can provide comprehensive and preventative support for parents at the transition to parenthood.
