Meet Lee Houghton – Dad Matters Coordinator for Gloucestershire…
I’m Lee, 46 years young and currently living in Worcester in the UK, originally from “the North” and proud Daddy to my two boys who are the absolute centre of my universe.
I’ve spent most of my professional career managing residential children’s services that support children/young people who have suffered trauma/abuse and are looked after. I have seen first had the importance of having those strong, safe attachments for children.
Being a parent myself, I also know that it is the most thrilling, rewarding role I could ever have but one that is not without it’s muddles. I was no different than you.
So I am thrilled to join Dad Matters to help raise awareness of Dad’s being able to support their partners, develop their own attachment/bonding with their children and raise awareness of mental health concerns.
