What does it mean to be a Dads Group leader?

As a leader of a local Dads Group in Australia, your role is pivotal in reshaping outcomes for new families.

By promoting positive parenting in men and offering early intervention support, you help new fathers navigate challenges and connect with essential resources. Dads Group Leaders are a gateway to support, sharing/introducing/referring their members to the available support for both mum and dad. 

The training provided equips you to run your Dads Group successfully, building a support network among passionate dads and actively participating in a movement that empowers fathers and families. By joining this initiative, you become a vital part of a community dedicated to reducing stress, encouraging seeking help when needed, and ensuring future generations benefit from the positive influence of engaged and supported fathers. Welcome to the family of leaders committed to helping fathers thrive.
