We offer a sociological and longitudinal analysis of young fathers' mental health trajectories from pregnancy, birth and beyond to highlight the joys and challenges of a stigmatised form of parenthood and one that is sorely under-represented and lacking support.

Where fatherhood can be predictive of mental ill-health it can also be protective and enable (young) men to invest in an identity and sets of relationships that are grounded in love, care and compassion.

Today, and every day, we encourage attention to how we can co-create more father-inclusive services, policies and systems as a preventative measure, that ensures all parents feel safe to disclose about the challenges of parenthood, while also feeling safe and supported.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.

University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

NEW analysis from @jrf-uk.bsky.social & @centrepropolicy.bsky.social shows how improving paternity leave can boost UK growth

Data from countries with more generous leave shows it tackles gender norms & helps women into work, with an economy-wide benefit of £2.8bn

Father-inclusion is introduced as a concept for fatherhood research that connects the interests and perspectives of researchers, social welfare practitioners and policy makers to promote systems change, and increase facilitation of fathers’ involvement in family dynamics, child development, and more
profatarrant.bsky.social
Draws on data with young fathers and multi-agency professionals, the article highlights the social welfare contexts where men as-fathers experience exclusion, as well as how the language of father-inclusion might be mobilised for progressive and systemic institutional and societal change
