This research reports on the perceptions of 27 fathers involved in fi ve focus groups which were conducted in late 2009 on behalf of Tweddle Child and Family Health Service in Melbourne. The fathers in this research highlight their encounters with services that frequently presume they are secondary or part-time parents.
Tweddle Child and Family Health Service is a statewide early intervention and prevention health service. Our purpose is to provide parenting support to families during pregnancy and with children from birth to school age. Our highest priority is to provide assistance to families that are facing multiple challenges and are in urgent need of therapeutic support.
Tweddle’s programs are underpinned by four key themes also known as our four Ts. Our priority is to help parents learn about their child by teaching them about secure attachment and attunement, as a result a child builds trust and a sense of security. This is done in a timely manner that acknowledges that the peak period of development for a child is the first 1000 days. We do this together with families, staff, community organisations and universal services.

Day Stay Program - Research and Evaluation - Tweddle Child and Family Health ...Tweddle Australia
A recent Monash University Jean Hailes Research Unit study into the Tweddle Day Stay Program examined the health, social circumstances and presenting needs of 115 clients attending the Tweddle Day stay Program. The study looked at parents with infants under 12 months old and assessed the parent mental health and infant behaviour outcomes and factors associated with program success. Results revealed that Day Stay participants’ mental health and their infants’ behaviours were significantly improved after their admission.
Recent Victorian State Government policy and legislative changes are intended to promote earlier intervention for vulnerable families and children. Tweddle’s Day Stay programs, which operate across 5 western locations across Victoria, have a focus on infant health and development and the promotion of parent-infant emotional attachment. The study, conducted by Heather Rowe, Sonia Mccallum, Minh Thi H Le and Renzo Vittorino concluded that the Day Stay Program offered important benefits for the prevention of more serious family problems and consequent health care cost savings
The ‘Empowering Somali Mums’ research project explores and documents the challenges faced by Somali Mothers and their 0-4 year old children so that Early Parenting professionals can provide culturally respectful and appropriate care for Somali families. Somali mothers from North Melbourne and Flemington were recruited for research groups attended by 28 mums, 27 phone interviews with Somali health and welfare professionals were conducted and we held a Somali Health workers forum with ten senior community workers. We wanted to understand the challenges which prevent Somali mums from accessing parenting assistance and how we can understand parenting from a Somali mum’s perspective.
Tweddle staff are undergoing cross-cultural training and building knowledge and resources that will help strengthen relationships between the Somali community, and other migrant communities. Tweddle provide Halal food, have private prayer space and families can bring up to three children to Tweddle. Thanks to the Victorian Women’s Trust (Con Irwin Sub Fund) for providing the grant that enabled this learning.
Your stay with us will provide
an opportunity for you and your family to explore any
parenting issues you are currently facing.
Parenting issues involve the whole family and we invite
you, your partner or a support person to attend.
The program is designed to assist you to achieve your
goals. The program has 4 phases:
• Exploration
• Confidence building
• Skill consolidation
• Preparation for home
Tweddle recognises that each family is unique. We
respond to your individual needs working with you to
achieve your goals and we will be on hand day and night.
In a typical day, we will work with you to develop confidence
in your skills. This will be achieved by observing
you do the task and providing you with feedback and
encouragement. Information groups are run everyday and
you are invited to attend them.
At Tweddle, we assist parents with young children who need support and strategies to confidently manage the challenges of early parenting. Families with children and babies up to the age of four years old are welcome.
Tweddle's joint submission to 'Victoria's Vulnerable Children Inquiry'Tweddle Australia
Victoria's early parenting centres, including Tweddle, have urged the Protection Victoria's Vulnerable Children Inquiry Panel to recommend strengthening support to families in the critical early years and to invest in therapeutic early intervention and prevention programs for families of infants and children up to the age of 4.
For more information about the inquiry and its terms of reference see here - http://bit.ly/jEJ5dn
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance.

Our Vision
Happy, healthy families raising children with the best
chance of positive early childhood development in a
supportive family environment.
Our Purpose
Tweddle is a statewide early intervention and prevention health service.
Tweddle will provide parenting support to families during pregnancy and with children from birth to school
age, resident in the north and west of Victoria.
As a result of our work families:
Acquire sound parenting skills
Develop parenting confidence
Improve health and early childhood development outcomes
Enhance relationships and attachment
Connect to support networks in their local communities
Families receive services that are collaborative, accountable, evidence based and subject to external
evaluation and national accreditation.
Our highest priority is to provide assistance to families that are facing multiple challenges and are in urgent
need of therapeutic support and intervention. These challenges are commonly underpinned by isolation
compounded by health issues, addiction, family instability and violence, sleep deprivation, feelings of being
unable to cope and the complexities that can arise from financial stress, age, ethnicity and other factors.
Our Values
Family focus
Cooperation and openness
Respect
Treating people equally
Community connectedness
Creativity and learning
