The Missing Piece in the Puzzle: Engaging Dads in Infant Mental Health
This session will encourage practitioners to look again at how fathers are seen, spoken about and included within infant mental health work. It will offer a practical and reflective space to think about what helps dads engage, what gets in the way, and what small changes can make father inclusion feel more possible in everyday practice.
Takeaways:
-
A stronger understanding of why father inclusion matters for babies, mothers and whole families
-
Greater confidence in recognising how language, bias and service culture can shape work with dads
-
Practical ways to make contact, conversations and support more father-inclusive
-
Simple reflection tools to help you notice blind spots and strengthen your practice
Gareth has kindly offered attendees a reduced rate to his book: ‘Be a Super Dad: Reflective advice for Fatherhood’ on the day.
