Men and dads
Parenting and wellbeing support programs for men, dads and father-figures.
Support for Fathers project
Support for Fathers is a national project providing dads and father-figures with options and information about fatherhood, the relationship with their partner and connecting with their kids.
We enable workplaces and organisations to engage and work with dads and families more effectively and support them through fatherhood.
On the Support for Fathers website, you can:
- view our fatherhood resources
- check out the DadStuff social media wall
- register for workshops for dads and father-figures
- download our Professionals’ Toolkit
- access training for professionals and service providers
- subscribe to the Support for Fathers newsletter.
Relationships Australia Victoria is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services to deliver Support for Fathers.
Men Being Well
The Men Being Well program supports participants to create affirming and ongoing connections with other men, with a focus on building positive mental health, wellbeing and resilience. Research indicates that ‘being well’ is enhanced by social connection, psychoeducation, personal reflection, and commitment to meaningful change.
While the program works with individuals, we know that positive change for individuals also contributes to positive change in all aspects of life, such as relationships with partners, children and communities.
Men Being Well offers a relaxed, welcoming and safe place for men to reflect on their own personal journeys, have good conversations with other men and share space and stories together. This not only enhances men’s wellbeing but is also a positive reminder of the many benefits of just catching up with and supporting other men.
