Rooted
Who this is for: Fathers, dads, male carers and men supporting children with SEND
Rooted is written for fathers who love their child deeply but have never been given room to say how hard it has been. It moves through denial, quiet grief, the pressure to stay strong, the cost of disconnection and what a wellness budget actually looks like for a man who is used to coping alone. No therapy, no labels, no judgement.
