In this episode host, Dr Tania McMahon speaks to Scott White, PANDA Project Lead for SMS4dads about SMS4dads services, the evidence behind it and how it can support health practitioners in their work with new or expecting parents.
Prior to working the PANDA Scott was communications manager at the Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network where he advocated strongly for evidence-based care and whole system improvements to mental health, Aboriginal health, chronic disease management and after-hours medical services. Scott's skill and experience in these areas complimented his work as Project Lead liaising between SMS4dads and PANDA to ensure SMS text messages related to perinatal mental health and wellbeing are delivered appropriately and with sensitivity.
Tania and Scott discuss why dads should enroll in SMS4dads, the research and evidence behind SMS4dads, anything new in the works and which health practitioners should know about SMS4dads.
