Next online session
Our virtual Dads Group sessions have finished for the year. We wish you all a safe and restful holiday season. We will see you in the new year!
Our virtual Dads Group is a place where fathers come together to share insights, experiences, and advice on the journey of parenthood.
We meet every month and catch up for 20 minutes.
Whether you’re a seasoned dad or a newcomer to fatherhood, this is the space to engage in meaningful discussions, hear from The Fathering Project Dads Group Managers, exchange tips, gain an understanding of the importance of fathers as father figures, and support one another through the joys and challenges of raising children.
Benefits of Online Dads Groups
Joining a dads group isn’t just about socialising with other fathers. Research shows that these groups can have a significant impact on dads’ lives and their relationships with their children.
Studies have found that dads who participate in dads groups often experience:
- Increased sense of purpose: A stronger connection to their role as fathers.
- Improved communication: Children are more likely to open up to dads who are part of a support group.
- Enhanced parenting skills: Greater knowledge of child development and confidence in handling parenting challenges.
- Stronger school connections: Feeling more comfortable and involved at their child’s school.
