Learner Dads offers expectant dads the opportunity to take part in a free workshop held on Saturday mornings in Norwich and Great Yarmouth from August through to January 2025.
Our first workshop will be held in central Norwich on the morning of Saturday 24th August.
Our second workshop will be held in Great Yarmouth on the morning of Saturday 7th September.
These workshops – featuring up to 10 dads in each session – will be led by experienced facilitators, are designed to help men prepare for birth and what comes next, in terms of supporting their partner, bonding with their baby and taking care of themselves. The idea is to explore the issues existing dads have told us they wish they’d had more knowledge of when they were expecting their babies. Each workshop will run for three hours.
Specifically, the workshops will cover core topics such as:
- how to best support our partners during labour
- how to bond with our new baby
- what to do when our baby cries
- what changes to expect after the baby is born
- post-natal depression in dads
In addition, there will be scope to answer other questions expectant dads may have.
Post-birth, Learner Dads will provide additional support via WhatsApp conversations and a check-in phone call to catch-up on how things are going.
