When I became a father to my daughter, more than 14 years ago, I was joyful that she and her mum were healthy and safe, but I also remember a whole jumble of emotions, including whether I could manage fatherhood.
This is what I wrote about in my Better Health column this month.
Fatherhood is beautiful, but it is also a major transition for men's mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
Fathers need more than a Father's Day celebration; they need support and opportunities to learn and be human.
Taking care of fathers is also taking care of children and families 💙
