What is this website?
The idea of this site is to put practitioners who work with fathers in touch with some relevant research. The term 'work with fathers' here refers to any kind of help for men in a caring role - whether or not they are biological fathers - which is designed to improve the well-being of children. This might be some kind of parenting course (maybe alongside mothers); it might be a therapeutic session, or some kind of activity-based work; or it might be a less structured self-help support group.
This site is run by Jonathan Scourfield. I have set up the site as part of my research project on fathers, social interventions and children's well-being. The research is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council. Please feel free to contact me by email or comment on the blog. You can also follow me on Twitter.
