We are joined by clinical psychologist and mother of two, Dr. Hayley Smith. We discuss the concerning increase in children's mental health difficulties being caused by their experiences in school. The impact of having a curriculum/target driven system that is outdated and doesn't cater for neurodiversity, individual needs or children with SEN has left children feeling distressed and misunderstood.

Dope Black Dads is a place where we are changing the narrative and having progressive conversations about black fathers with the aim of creating a safe digital space within the community.
