White Ribbon Day 2018 was observed on Friday November 16th in Ohio this year. On this day thousands of men, women and youth took a public stance in support of healthy non-violence relationships by wearing a white ribbone and taking the pledge below. Please join them in taking the pledge now....
WHITE RIBBON PLEDGE
I PLEDGE NEVER TO COMMIT, CONDONE OR REMAIN SILENT ABOUT VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, CHILDREN AND INTIMATE PARTNERS.
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, I PROMISE TO TALK TO FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS ABOUT STOPPING VIOLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I PROMISE TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO THE SAME AND I PROMISE TO LEAD THEM BY EXAMPLE.
THIS WHITE RIBBON I AM WEARING WILL REMIND ME OF THIS PLEDGE.

It can be common for expectant and new fathers to experience worries, anxiety and depression around the birth of their child. 1 in 10 or more fathers struggle with their moods during this time. The rate can be much higher for Dads that have a partner coping with depression as well.
A group called PANDA in Australia has created a wonderful online resource to support fathers called How is Dad Going? Check it out!
