North Sydney Dads Group starts next month, giving fathers and father figures a welcoming space to learn, share and grow.
Council is proud to support the launch of a new dads group at McMahons Point Community Centre, starting Thursday 11 September. The free monthly gathering will support fathers and father figures (including grandfathers, uncles and carers) to navigate parental challenges and be the best version of themselves for their kids, from infants to teens.
The group will help fathers and father figures build stronger family relationships, reduce stress and learn positive role modelling, while connecting with other dads in the area.
The sessions combine research-based parenting insights with open discussion and are facilitated by The Fathering Project, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to promote positive fathering behaviours and fathers’ engagement with their infants, preschool, primary school and adolescent-aged children.
Each meeting will include a 20-minute topic (such as supporting your kids when co-parenting or connecting with daughters) followed by an open floor for sharing challenges, reflections and support.
The first session runs on Thursday 11 September from 4pm to 5pm, and all are welcome.
