Fathers Together
A study to explore how to better support young fathers in prison and their families
We are a team of academic researchers, practitioners and experts by experience who are looking to understand and develop support for young fathers in prison and their families. The study is co-led by Dr Anita Mehay and Professor Richard Watt.
​
The study ran from April 2022 - June 2025 and we are now planning a feasibility study to inform a scalable delivery model and future evaluation.
​
You can find out more about the study on this website as well as through Instagram or YouTube. ​We also have a study podcast series where you can hear directly from fathers with lived experience and gain insights from the study. Available on all major platforms including Spotify, Apple podcast, and Acast.
