DorPIP Dads FREE Online Course

We are pleased to announce that DorPIP will be starting DorPIP Dad’s group facilitated by the campaigner and keynote speaker, Mark Williams. Over the six weekly sessions you will have the opportunity to explore what takes to be a dad, learn about bonding and attachment, strategies you can use to take care of your wellbeing, how to communicate your concerns with your partner or trusted other, techniques for soothing your baby. As well as having the opportunity to meet other dads and ask questions directly to a midwife.
As much as you want to be there for your partner, it can be difficult juggling your needs, your partners and this whole new person you helped bring into this world.
DorPIP Dads is a place for any Dad in Dorset or surrounding areas to explore their fatherhood journey, and learn skills, tools and techniques to help them along the way.
Whether you’re doing okay, or would like a bit of support, we welcome all Dads to attend our sessions from 19:00-20:30. Hopefully little one will be sound asleep allowing you some valuable ‘me’ time.
