What we want dads to do:
Share activities you're doing with your kids, their achievements, your concerns, worries etc. ROAR LOUD
We are in the process of setting up a charity. Its purpose is to build relationships, support and empower dads, to be positive, pro-active role models in their children's lives. Roar Loud does not believe in reinventing the wheel. There are some amazing projects running in other countries and parts of the UK. We want to work with these great charities and organisations to bring the projects to a local audience. Dads play such an important role in the family unit, but through their past, the relationship with their partner, self-esteem issues and a lack of practical tools and opportunities, they feel like they can not be a good parent. We want local dads in Essex, London and neighbouring local authorities to be confident and supported in their role, which can have many positive benefits for their child's future. It is a proven fact that children that have a good relationship with their father:
-Excel in their studies
-Become healthier
-Develop a confident character
And not to mention the relationship with their partner flourishes.
-Family units are breaking down
-More men suffer from Pre and Post Natal Depression
-More men die of illnesses because they do not check themselves or seek medical advice
-Domestic violence is increasing year on year
-The number of children with depression is increasing
-The number of children self-harming has gone up
We simply want to make dads feel valued, cared for and provide them with tools to:
Roar Loud and proud, I'm a dad.
