A lot of men are carrying more than they ever say or let on..

The pressure to provide, be present with the kids, support their partner, help more at home, and somehow not need much themselves can take a toll.

And for dads, mental health struggles do not always show up as “I’m depressed.”

Sometimes they look like snapping over small things, working more, pulling away, scrolling in silence, feeling numb, struggling to sleep, or feeling like no matter how much they do, it still is not enough.

In Canada or US, call or text 9-8-8 for 24/7 crisis support.

Comment DAD and we will send you our blog on dads’ mental health, or book a free therapy consult with Couples to Cradles Counselling.

We have therapists who support dads, parents, and families in Lethbridge, including a male therapist who is also a father and understands the real stressors dads are often carrying. Evening appointments and direct billing available.

Cycle breaking is happening for so many dads & it can be incredibly challenging to parent differently.

We see the dads who..
Repair and regulate their kids instead of blame and anger
Ask for help instead of disappearing.
Learn how to feel something without making everyone else carry it or be responsible for it

If you or your partner are carrying stress, anxiety, anger, burnout, or the pressure to hold everything together, counselling can help.

Couples to Cradles Counselling offers support for dads and families in Lethbridge and virtually across Canada. We also have a male therapist who is a father and understands the real stressors dads face. Direct billing available.

There is a lot of talk about dads “showing up,” but not always enough talk about what that actually takes or how hard it can be.

A lot of dads are trying to do fatherhood differently than what was modelled for them.

They are trying to be more present.
More emotionally available.
More patient.
More involved at home.
More aware of their own reactions.
More willing to repair after they get it wrong.

If you are a dad or know a dad who feels stressed, angry, anxious, burnt out, disconnected, or like you are carrying more than anyone realizes, we have support.

👉🏼Comment “DAD” and we’ll send you a link to our blog on Dads mental health, or you can book a free consultation with one of our therapists.

We also have a male therapist on our team who specializes in working with dads and understands the significant stressors fathers are carrying.

As psychologists, we have heard people describe some of the worst moments of their lives.

The kind of moments that change a family in seconds💔

And as a mom (a mom that struggles with death anxiety) one of my biggest fears is drowning. So yes, I am pretty adamant about certain safety rules in our house.

Not because I want my kids to be afraid of the world. I don’t. But because I know that in stressful, rushed, confusing moments, kids need simple rules that are already in their head.

Save this and share with others parents, grandparents or caregivers ❤️

What's something you're teaching your kids that nobody taught you?

Things millennials are teaching their kids that many of us learned later in life. Not because our parents didn't love us or try (I know, there are parents out there that didn't do that, perhaps due to generational trauma or mental health struggles )

But every generation learns something new. And I'm sure 30 years from now our kids may be saying the same thing. Most do the best we can with the resources we have.

Let us know your thoughts below 👇🏼

Middle school can be a lot. For kids and parents..

And the hard part is, a lot of kids do not know how to talk about it. They just come home quiet, irritable, teary, angry, or that they're "fine" when they clearly aren't.

Comment SCHOOL and we’ll send you our blog on helping your child through the middle school years.

And if your child is struggling with anxiety, friendship stress, bullying, school avoidance, or big emotions, you can also book a free consult with Couples to Cradles Counselling.

Watching Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) gives me the ick. The lack of acknowledgement and disregard for how harmful AI can be on the developing brain seems to be completely overlooked. I hear a lot about productivity. I hear a lot about efficiency. I hear a lot about what AI can do for us. I hear far less about what it might mean for a generation of children whose brains are still under construction.

We continue our social media/AI week and I am excited Canada is moving forward with the Digital Safety Act which includes oversight on AI

The new digital safety bill would regulate AI chatbots, especially those interacting with young people.

A digital regulator would be able to establish safety standards for AI systems and chatbots.
and AI companies could face substantial penalties for failing to meet requirements. This is a win!!

I am working on a blog for this, stayed tuned.

I don't think social media is the whole problem.

I think a lot of kids are being handed way too complex social situations before they have the skills to handle them.

Group chats.
Screenshots.
Snaps.
Pressure to always be available.
No time to truly disconnect

A ban might reduce some harm.

But it won't teach kids how to navigate conflict, cope with rejection, build healthy friendships, or protect their self-esteem.

Those skills matter whether social media is banned or not.

What do you think? Would a social media ban help? Would love to hear your thoughts 👇🏼👇🏼

If your child is struggling with friendships, anxiety, confidence, or the challenges of growing up online, book a free consultation with one of our child and teen therapists.

Kids today are navigating a social world that follows them home.

Mistakes don't stay private.
And sometimes hundreds of kids can watch something unfold in real time.

I don't think kids today are necessarily "meaner".

I think they're growing up in a social environment that many of us never had to navigate ourselves.

Have you noticed this shift too?

Tell us what you're seeing in your child's school or community.

If your child is struggling with friendships, bullying, anxiety, or confidence, our child and teen therapists are here to help.

Book a free consultation or comment SHIFT and we'll send you our blog on navigating the social shift during these years.
