What we stand for

Three letters.
One mission.

Dialogue

Real conversations that go deeper than the surface. We ask the questions most people avoid.

Awareness

You can’t change what you don’t understand. Your patterns. Your reactions. Your story. Awareness is where everything starts.

Direction

Not advice. Not therapy. A sense that others have been here — and found their way through.

The reality

Men are struggling in silence. These numbers matter.

3 in 4

Suicides in the UK are men, at any one time.

1 in 8

Men experience a common mental health problem at any one time.

40%

Jas sits down with Naroop to talk about what happens when a man carries everything, and what it costs him. One of the UK's most recognised Bhangra artists, Jaz opens up about his Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis, losing his brother Harvey to brain cancer, and why he believes a lifetime of suppressed emotion made him ill.

A conversation about grief, inner work, generational wisdom, and what it really means to show up for yourself.

The man behind the conversations

Naroop
Jhooti

Built on lived experience and a belief that men deserve to be heard, The Dad Project exists because vulnerability isn't weakness — it's the most human thing we have.

Naroop started this to challenge stereotypes about fathers of colour and amplify voices rarely heard in mainstream media. It began as a mission. It became a movement.
