Building father-inclusive approaches: Dad Matters – a commissioned service to support fathers’ bonding and early attachment. Pt 2

Redesigning perinatal services to be father-inclusive can be a major task: one that most NHS systems have yet to tackle.

In Greater Manchester, Dad Matters - a Home Start project - has emerged as a commissioned service that focuses on supporting fathers’ bonding and early attachment with their babies.

In the second of two episodes looking in-depth at the Dads Matter model, we chat more about what Kieran sees as the success factors behind the service – and about the challenges of developing high quality services for dads, within a system that generally positions fathers as outsiders.
