The New Father Care Plan is a 30-page handbook created by Laura Parry, LCSW, PMH-C — certified perinatal mental health specialist and founder of Roots & Branches Wellness — to help new and expecting dads show up for their families without losing themselves in the process.

Because how you care for your partner and your baby is shaped by how well you're doing yourself. And most fathers are never asked.

Inside, you'll find honest, practical, clinically-informed guidance on caring for your newborn, supporting your partner through postpartum recovery, managing work and the mental load, and understanding your own mental health during one of the most demanding seasons of your life.

This isn't a to-do list. It's the information you actually need — delivered directly, without the assumption that dads are just bystanders.

Pair with the New Father Prep Guide for planning tools and checklists.
