The Fatherhood Institute is running this event with researchers at Thomas Coram Research Unit (part of London University).
We are looking into how health visiting services can support families with young children who are facing challenges – including when parents experience mental health issues, domestic violence, alcohol or substance use, or other difficulties.
The researchers have been talking to health visitors and parents in different parts of the country about their experiences. Now they want YOUR view, so they can better understand how health visiting can help dads facing difficulties.
If you’re a dad in England who has experience of mental health challenges while parenting a child under 5, or supporting your co-parent through mental health challenges, then please consider getting involved.
What better way to mark International Men’s Day 2025 than to help our vital public services provide support to men on their journeys through early fatherhood?
