Mellow Dads

Mellow Dads is for dads with children aged from birth to five years. We offer this group online and face-to-face. 

The group is a 14-week intensive programme for fathers of babies and pre-school children to attend together.  

Being a parent can be a very difficult job. Sometimes parents may:  

  • not have had anyone to role model positive parenting for them
  • have had a child removed previously
  • have been in care themselves
  • be a young parent feeling anxious about being a new dad  

By sharing good ideas and tips, all of us can develop our parenting skills and become more confident about managing day-to-day life with our children.  

We want to support you to uncover your own solutions and make friends along the way. 

How to access
