The importance of fathers to mental health

A talk by Consultant Psychotherapist Andrew Briggs, followed by questions from the audience.

Positive and negative outcomes for the child will be the main focus of the talk. The role of the mother on child development, both positive and negative, will be discussed. Reasons for father absence will be explored.
