Becoming Father

BECOMING FATHER

A One Day Live Talk Event For Fathers and Fathers To Be

The transition into fatherhood comes with some curve balls and with no shortage of challenges.

Just a few of these challenges can include:

• Difficulties conceiving.
• Loss of identity.
• The stress of providing (financially and physically/mentally/emotionally).
• Isolation.
• Not fully understanding the changes our partner is going through.
• Not fully understanding the changes WE are going through.
• Lack of a network to be able to ask for support.
• Communication and relationship breakdown.

Our intention with this event is to equip men with the tools, the insights and the support to confidently embrace the transition into fatherhood.

There’s no one size fits all approach with this stuff but there are some principles that will enhance your ability to navigate this transition with more joy and less stress.
