Invisible – the full film

Studies show that many new dads feel ignored and left-out by services, which may mean they don’t ask for help when they’re struggling.

Invisible follows Luke’s journey as he becomes dad to baby Josh. It is a dramatised version of events, highlighting factors that may impact new dads’ mental health.
