This book examines community group settings for young men who are
fathers, with particular emphasis on the role of gender within the
groups and the possibilities of such groups for the 'un-doing' of
gender. Young men who are fathers are often marginalized and
negatively portrayed within society. Groups allow them space and
opportunity for peer support with other young men, to gain
confidence and skills, and to positively develop their fatherhood
identities. They offer young fathers opportunities to encounter new
role models and can therefore help to reimagine young men who are
fathers, challenging stereotypes and offering support for young men
and their families. Supporting Young Men as Fathers will be of
interest to students and scholars in the areas of sociology, social
work, health promotion and youth work as well as practitioners
working within family settings or who may encounter young men who
are parents within their professional roles.
