Future Dads is a one-day course for new and expectant dads, that demonstrates practical and emotional approaches to take care of themselves, their partner and their baby.
The course offers a space for men to come together to share their concerns, excitement and expectations of becoming a dad.
Who is it for?
If you’re a new dad, or a dad to be, Future Dads is the course for you.
What happens on the day?
Future Dads (ONLINE) covers a range of topics, including:
Practical skills: How to hold, feed, bathe, change and bond with your baby
Being a dad: Why dads are important and what kind of dad you want to be
Relationships: How having a baby can have an impact on relationships with your partner, friends and family
Self-care: How to look after your physical and mental health and wellbeing
A midwife will also be on hand to answer your questions about the birth and beyond!* (on full one day course*)

@YoungWestminstr@CaxtonOrg@Virgin@The_Skill_Mill It's a great initiative. Supporting young ex-offenders to build skills, particularly commercial skills, can be a fantastic method for building pro-social behaviours.
@YoungWestminstr: Young people and youth workers at @FutureMenUK & @CaxtonOrg have been staying safe in their clubs with the #MakeAMask winning design! 😷🌍
The @virgin competition saw 1,000 masks made for charity by @The_Skill_Mill, a social enterprise creating employment for young ex-offenders. https://t.co/u5xSJMw2ds
@dratarrant: Our thanks also to advisors Owen Thomas of @FutureMenUK and Jack Summerside of @ConnectedVoice_ and for the additional funding by the @unilincoln QR strategic fund and @NEYDandL.
