Telephone Support
The project accepts referrals for one to one support of dads. This will be virtual and will take the form of an initial telephone discussion to collect information on the current situation of the dad and then to assess the support that can be offered.
This can be via on-going telephone contact for a specific period of time and may also include advice on coping strategies, how to access IAPT services in Gloucestershire, as well as signposting to additional organisations and services, some of which may be local, whilst others are national.
As the organisation develops and we recruit and train peer supporters then we will be able to offer more of this type of 1-2-1 peer support however at the moment the telephone support and signposting will come from our Dad Matters Coordinator.
