This #FathersDay, we’re proud to share this blog by Chris about helping his daughter with her mental health. It’s a real and honest account about the journey many young people and parents or carers experience. https://t.co/eb9W9oJ1nL
Father's Day can be a celebration for some, but for others it can be a difficult time.
If you know someone who may be struggling this #FathersDay, reach out to them and let them know that whatever they're going through, it's okay to say.
