Why fathers should speak to us ...
Fathers are just as important as anyone else when it comes to the wellbeing of children and young people and can have a particularly important role in helping young people through difficulties, so why don't we hear from you?
YoungMinds is committed to
supporting fathers as we know you have a vital role to play in the
development of your children and family.
In the past, many
services have often been targeted at mothers and there is still the
expectation that it is mothers who take responsibility for bringing up
children and that the fathers role is the provider. But we also know
that fathers want to take more of a role in the development of their
children.
This is why the Parents information service is
committed to helping fathers bring their children through difficult
time, or who are unsure what is happening to their children.
Fathers have feelings too
Our
booklet, Fathers have feelings too, helps fathers at all stages of
fatherhood. It provides tips on how to recognise emotional
difficulties and how to support children through them. If you'd like a copy why not download one from this site or ring the Parents information service.
