S17E12 - So Far So Father

Send us Fan MailThe concept of fatherhood is highly multifaceted, extending well beyond biological ties to include adoptive fathers, stepfathers, and other positive male role models. It is generally defined by a few core dimensions:Nurturing & Emotional Support: Building a secure, loving, and vulnerable bond with children.Guidance & Mentorship: Acting as a principled guide to teach values, life skills, and responsibility.Protection & Provision: Ensuring the safety and physical well-being of the family unit.Historically and culturally, the role has been associated with specific responsibilities, often summarized by the "Five Ps": participator/problem-solver, playmate, principled guide, provider, and preparer. Ultimately, the meaning of fatherhood is highly personal and evolves with the unique relationship a father builds with each child.This week we would like to highlight Change Mental Health if you would like to learn more or donate click the link below. https://changemh.org/resources/fathers-and-mental-health/Please leave a comment and review our episode and give some feedback on what we can improve on!Thank You All For Listening and DownloadingSupport the showThe 988 Lifeline988 is now active across the United States.
