With our fantastic partners the North East Young Dads and Lads we launch a new Think Dad! father-inclusive toolkit for professionals that we co-created together.
In this webinar, study Director Professor Anna Tarrant provides a brief overview of the current state of debate in young parenthood research. She also introduces the main aims of this free, monthly webinar series for 2023, designed to promote young fatherhood research and establish a network of interested advocates.
The Grimsby Dads Collective started with a community led question; what if we could?
