What to Expect
This welcoming dads group offers a supportive environment for fathers and father figures, including grandfathers, uncles, and carers. It focuses on navigating the challenges of parenting children from infancy through the teenage years. Each session encourages open sharing and connection.
You will gain insights into understanding your child better and learn how to be intentional in your role as a father. The group emphasizes building emotional intelligence and raising resilient children.
The sessions combine research-based parenting insights with open discussion, facilitated by The Fathering Project, a not-for-profit organisation promoting positive fathering behaviours.
