A good resource for postpartum dads.

Calling all dads! Join us for our free online Dads Support Group!

Our online groups are here to help you connect with other dads who have newborns up to toddlers. Our groups allow you to talk and listen to other dads as they process their experiences. Whether you are going through stress, feeling overwhelmed as you adjust to parenting, or trying to figure out how best to support your partner, our groups are here for you. You will learn about helpful tools/resources and realize you are not alone. We do not allow group observation by students or professionals. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

New Membership offerings this year

This year we are excited to be able to offer several opportunities we have not had in the past few years- in-person conferences and networking events (both in-person and virtual) that we're calling "monthly mingles." With in-person conferences comes face-to-face focused learning, improved networking, healthy lunches provided, and learning about community organizations participating in the events. These engaging events have a higher cost and in addition there are ongoing costs of running an organization such as subscriptions, organizational memberships and processing fees, so it is necessary for us to pass on some of this cost to members and conference attendees, in order to continue to provide quality programming. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about our membership this year.
