Research project

F.i.G. members from Sure Start Cheltenham and Cheltenham & Tewkesbury PCT are taking part in a research project running from January 2005 – January 2006 in the areas covered by Sure Start based in Hesters Way. The project aims to find out how new fathers feel about becoming a father and what affect fatherhood has on their mental well being. For further information contact Paul Hopkins at paul.hopkins@glos.nhs.uk
