Research indicates that many new dads are struggling. Hear from those finding better ways to include fathers, creating healthier families.
About this Event

Don't miss this ground-breaking discussion into how we can better support new dads.

Hear about the national uptake of Dads Groups and Man with a Pram activities, which just launched on the Sunshine Coast.

Find out why our local hospital service and community is getting on board.

Expect to feel inspired and moved by our panel of dads sharing their experiences of isolation and how they addressed it, as well as university researchers sharing the latest findings into the mental health of new fathers and men throughout the lifespan.

The need for more support is clear - without it, many men can feel isolated in the transition to fatherhood. This can lead to feelings of confusion and inadequacy, family conflict and even domestic violence.

Join us for this important panel discussion, hearing from those who are building new ways of connecting men at important life stages.

Panellists:

  • Barnaby Dixson, Lecturer in Psychology, UniSC
  • Tom Docking, CEO, Dads Group
  • Keppel Schafer, SCHHS Nursing Service Director Women's and Children's Services
  • Tom Pace, postdoctural research fellow, UniSC Thompson Institute

This free community event is offered with Australian Government funding under The Alliance for Suicide Prevention - Sunshine Coast.
