Becoming a dad can be overwhelming.

A new study shows 2–3 babies in the UK lose their dad to suicide every week.
You don’t have to face this alone.
Our peer support service connects dads with other dads who get it.

We agree, boys need more support. We're part of the Healthy Masculinity Alliance in Scotland, with lots of other orgs, we want to take action to support boys and men. Well done on this Ross. Thomas

Alarm raised over boys accessing mental health counselling Ross Greer MSP has called for action over research suggesting boys are missing out on mental health counselling while at school.

Boys are almost half as likely as girls to access counselling for their mental health in school.

I'm urging schools to think about why that is and to make sure they're encouraging the boys who need it to access this support.

Family Fringe reviews! The Ugly Duckling.

One of our Dads said: "A really lovely show, perfect for our group, aged 2, 4 and 6. We all loved the acrobatics and the music, tied together with a nice re-imagining of the Ugly Duckling"
