Research

People reach this page for different reasons — and all of them are welcome.

If you're a researcher, clinician, or academic working in related areas and want to explore collaboration, conversation, or correspondence about the work, I'd be glad to hear from you.

If you're a journalist, broadcaster, or podcaster covering paternal bereavement, fathers' mental health, or child loss, I'm available to speak on the subject and happy to discuss.

If you're a commissioner, policymaker, or service designer thinking about how bereavement support reaches fathers, the research has direct implications for that work and I'm open to those conversations.

If you're a bereaved father who has found this page — I'm glad you're here. This isn't a support service in itself, but I can point you toward people and spaces that might help. Please feel free to reach out directly.
