Understanding Baby Loss and the Impact on Fathers: A Call for Compassionate Perinatal Mental Health Support in Inverness and Beyond

At Highland Psychological Services, we understand that baby loss is one of the most profound and life-altering events a parent can experience. While much of the conversation around perinatal mental health has (rightly) centred on mothers, fathers and non-birthing partners—especially those in LGBTQ+ families—can often be left navigating their grief alone and unsupported.

Our perinatal mental health therapy services in Inverness and online are available to help both men and women process the complex emotions that accompany baby loss, including guilt, shame, isolation, and profound sadness.
