Fathers Matter is a six-week online reflective group for fathers who want to think more deeply about their role in their children’s emotional development.

Drawing on psychoanalytic thinking, the group explores why fathers are psychologically important from infancy through adolescence — not just in what they do, but in how they are experienced and internalised by their children.

Each session combines a theoretical introduction of psychoanalytical concepts about the role of the father followed by open discussion about participants actual lived experience. The group is relevant to fathers of infants, latency-age children, and adolescents, and is not a parenting skills course or advice-giving group, but a space to reflect, think, and speak with other fathers about the role.
