In this episode we continue on from our 2 Part series Engaging with Fathers to look at an initiative to provide new fathers with support and advice for their physical and mental health pre and post birth.
We speak with Dr. Jo Nicholl, Designated Doctor for Safeguarding Children about the ‘New Dads Supporters in Somerset’ project she is leading, and the work that she has been doing to embed this in Health Services across the county.
