Shuttering the Myths of the "Silent Dad"

The Dad Support Gap

For decades, parenting literature has been overwhelmingly mother-centric. Dads were often relegated to the role of "the helper" or "the bumbling secondary."

New fathers are facing unique pressures of identity, mental health, and domestic balance without a playbook.
