How are you Dad? A Conversation with Mark Williams National Campaigner for Fathers Mental Health on the introduction of Brockington MBU Dads Pathway.
The importance of formally recognising Dad's mental health needs lies with the impact it can have in preventing the transgenerational impact of mental ill health. We all have a part to play in transforming the lives of generations to come and we hope by implementing this evidence based pathway that we will contribute a small step towards the big change needed, and especially for the infants we meet in specialist perinatal services. Supporting Dads in the best way we can in a service that is inclusive will not only strengthen the family support system, but enable their children to develop healthy secure attachments and have the best start in life.
