In a context of deepening child poverty, I’ll use creative, participatory methods, including intergenerational interviews and photovoice, to work collaboratively with families to explore how poverty and stigma shape relationships, wellbeing, and future aspirations.

In the book, Bren and Anna show how young dads are often framed as a ‘social problem’, understood through a deficit lens. They argue that we need compassionate social policy to better support young dads, children and their families

Anna began by sharing the origins of the Following Young Fathers study (led by Bren &Carmen Lau-Clayton). Bren met practitioners to discuss developing a study about young mums but they said they wanted to know about dads! There was little to no research/info about young dads, that has now changed.

Delighted to see this on the BBC! Reframing Young Fatherhood features positive images of real young dads, we’re seeking to use them to challenge stigma and help train professionals working with young fathers. Huge well done to the AmbassaDADS and the North East Young Dads www.bbc.com/news/article...
