tayside Dads - one to one support
Having a baby is a key transitional change in the life of a family. We know from research that the first 1001 days are vital, and supporting people at this vulnerable stage will help underpin their resilience, confidence and give their child the best start in life.
Dads Rock is working with the NHS Tayside midwifery teams to provide person centred, individualised care for families needing additional support with parenting. We are contributing to the holistic support of families by focusing on working with Dads from the antenatal stage through to postnatal stage, ensuring they feel supported during pregnancy and birth.
This is the first project providing dedicated support for Dads in Dundee.

We also go on Dads Days Out! Another fantastic chance for dads and their kids to get out of the house and meetup with others for some much needed fun. Please see our Dad Trip page for details or upcoming activities: DadTrips
