A Space Just for Dads
Being a father can be challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Our Fathers Support Group is about connection, understanding, and encouragement. It’s a place where dads can come together, support one another, and find strength in shared experience.
Fathers Support Group — a safe, supportive space for dads to talk, listen, and grow.
Fathers Support Group
Fatherhood can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also bring challenges, uncertainty, and pressure — especially when life circumstances feel overwhelming or relationships are complicated. At C4F (Centre for Families), we know that dads sometimes need a safe space to talk openly, share experiences, and get support from people who understand.

Our
Fathers Support Group is a
free online service that gives dads the chance to connect with other fathers, discuss parenting challenges, and explore ways to become more confident and supportive parents. It’s an informal, welcoming group where fathers can speak honestly without fear of judgment.
Why the Fathers Support Group Helps
Being a dad can feel isolating at times, especially when facing:
The stress of family changes or separation.
Worries about parenting or maintaining a bond with your children.
Feelings of frustration, anger, or self-doubt.
The challenge of balancing fatherhood with other life pressures.
The Fathers Support Group helps by:
Sometimes just knowing you’re not alone — and hearing how other dads manage — can make a huge difference.
Creating a
safe, non-judgmental space to talk about fatherhood.
Offering understanding from other dads who have experienced similar struggles.
Encouraging reflection and growth as a parent.
Providing practical support, shared advice, and new perspectives.
What to Expect
When: Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm
Where: Online via Microsoft Teams
Who Runs It: The group is run by fathers, for fathers — people who understand the challenges and rewards of parenting.
The group is friendly, informal, and conversation-led. There’s no pressure to speak if you don’t feel ready — you can simply listen at first, or share when you feel comfortable.

Every session is a safe and supportive space to talk about whatever is affecting you as a dad — from everyday parenting challenges to more complex family situations.
Who It’s For
The Fathers Support Group is for
any dad who feels they could benefit from connection and support, including those who are:
- Separated or going through changes in family life.
- Trying to maintain or rebuild contact with their children.
- Finding parenting emotionally challenging or isolating.

- Looking to connect with other fathers who understand their experiences.
You don’t need a referral — the group is open to all fathers
who feel they might benefit.

It’s about creating a safe, supportive space where dads can share experiences, learn from one another, and find strength in knowing they’re not alone. Our experienced facilitators understand the challenges fathers face and are committed to offering understanding, respect, and encouragement every step of the way.

The Fathers Support Group helps dads take positive steps forward — together, confidently, and with their wellbeing and role as a parent at the centre.
