Fathers and father-figures are critical in every child’s life, and this is particularly the case for children and young people living with a disability or specific health needs. Being a parent in these situations can be incredibly rewarding but can come with some tough times too.
The following fact sheets, videos and podcasts have been developed by The Fathering Project with generous support from Sutherland Shire Council and are free for families to access.
