Too often #youngdads are over looked. Faced with losing his child, he came to us #desperate for help. He needed our help to show them he could be a good father and to stop his daughter from being taken into care.... #caringdads #socialwork

#HappyFathersDay: "...let’s thank our dads not only for the ways in which they love and support our families, but for the ways in which they are challenging traditional stereotypes of masculinity—for fundamentally redefining what it means to be a man". #FathersDay #DadsMatter https://t.co/ZgfScwRJa6
