The exhibition was organised by Healthy Fathering Scotland, a charity set up in January last year to highlight the importance of male role models. Its national development officer, Eva Asante (pictured), said, 'It is well-established that when fathers play a more caring, sensitive and responsive nurturing role in a child's upbringing, youth problems such as truancy, poor performance in school, teenage pregnancy and anti-social behaviour are reduced or even prevented. What is not so well known is that these fathers are then much less likely to develop stress-related illnesses.'
The exhibition opened in Glasgow and Stirling and is now at the Church of St John, Princes Street, Edinburgh, for six weeks.
