Dads Night In
'Dad's Night In' event is an inspiring interactive gathering of fathers who come together to share their experiences and insights on balancing the various aspects of their lives. These events provide a supportive environment for dads to discuss the challenges and strategies they have found helpful in managing the demands of being a parent, pursuing their careers, maintaining their relationships, and achieving their personal goals. It encourages dads to reflect on their priorities and to seek inspiration and guidance from other fathers who are navigating similar paths. Overall, our 'Dad's Night In' event, which focuses on inspiring discussions, is a great way for fathers to connect with each other and to learn from one another's experiences in a meaningful and empowering way.
Community Catch up
Dads. Kids. Coffee. And maybe a playground. It sounds simple, because it is simple.Dads Groups are a gathering of new fathers meeting together weekly with their kids, a coffee, and often a playground. The peer-to-peer approach of Dads Groups create an evidenced-based and effective framework for support — something that is often missing from the existing fatherhood experience in Australia.
