    References and further resources.

    As the information discussed was the summation, synthesisation and expression of information from many different sources, a definitive reference list is complex to create. To decrease the workload and encourage wider reading from the listeners we have compiled a short list of resources that we utilised in our research.

    Resource List:

    Additional resources to support fathers:

    As we feel that supporting and encouraging paternal involvement to be a key component of our work here at barefoot educators, we feel that it would be helpful for us to adda few further resources to the above list that could be provided to fathers within your services community.

    References:

    As todays episode was a general introduction to us there are no specific references cited.

    We did briefly mention 2 books, "The Whole Brain Child" - by Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson, and, "What Happened to You" - by Oprah Winfrey and Dr Bruce Perry. We highly recommend both of these books, as they provided great insight into trauma and the impact of childhood adversity from a neurobiological lens. Fascinating stuff that has had a positive impact on our professional practice.
