A Dads Group is a meet up amongst fathers and father figures, typically new fathers. These groups provide a space for dads to share experiences, ask questions, connect with other dads and learn from each other in a judgment-free environment.

Here are some of the benefits of joining a Dads Group:

• Social connection and support: Dads Groups can help dads combat feelings of isolation and loneliness, especially common among new fathers.
• Shared experiences: Talking to other dads who are going through similar experiences can be a great source of comfort and validation.
• Parenting advice and tips: Dads Groups can be a wealth of information on everything from diapering to discipline.
• Activities for children: Many Dads Groups incorporate activities for children, allowing dads to socialise while their kids play.

Joining a Dads Group offers connection, support, and practical parenting advice. Research shows that dads who participate feel more confident in their parenting, build stronger relationships with their children, and gain valuable insights into child development. Starting a group allows you to create a supportive network of local dads while making a positive impact on your community.
