Oni Blecher interviews Steven Kennedy about his work with Birthing Dads and inquires into Steven's birth story. Steven speaks to preparing fathers for birth and the postnatal period. He speaks about how fathers and male birth support are the 'sleeping giants' of the birth world and if fathers are more prepared, they could assist and take extra weight and responsibility off midwives. When Steven suffered depression and trauma after the birth of his son in 2017 he turned to academic literature to research the experiences of expectant fathers at birth. He discovered a grim picture of modern society’s relationship with childbirth. A common theme was the suggestion that care providers prepare expectant fathers to better support themselves and their families in the perinatal period. Steven knew he had to act when further exploration revealed the research was being ignored. See more at birthingdads.org
