That feeling of "I'm not alone"
Adam
"It’s just a really unique thing, I’ve never been part of something
like it."
Shan
"Absolutely loved it. I think everyone in my family benefited from the dad's group in
some way!"
Noah
"I feel generally better knowing that there are other dads out there who give a shit and are present in their
kids' lives."
Questions
Answered
What if my baby is already here? Check out our Support Groups for Dads (for papas with kiddos of any age) and email Andrew if you have any questions.
​
Can I bring my partner? If your partner identifies as a man, then yes! Otherwise, no. The experience is designed to enable unfiltered vulnerability that fosters interpersonal connections between men (partners in two-dad families will be paired with other people).
​
I see there are multiple dates, can I come to more than one? We'll cover similar material each round, but you're welcome to join as many sessions as you like and meet more people.
​
I’m expecting my second (or third, or fourth, etc.) baby, can I join? Yes! While the majority of us are first timers, we understand guys may be looking for connection and community after multiple “reps.” This is a “come as you are” party.
​
Will there be food? We won’t provide food but you’re welcome to bring your own brown bag lunch. You can eat during our seated activities (other activities will involve moving around).
​
What does "by donation" mean? At the end of the event we'll invite participants to make donations to support future programs for dads and dads to be. No one turned away for lack of funds.
