The Lodge: monthly peer support sessions for dads – next session on Wednesday 30th November

So you’re a new dad – congratulations! And welcome to fatherhood. Good to have you in the club – strap in and get ready for the best ride of your life. Or maybe your children are in secondary school and getting ready for their GCSEs. However old your children are and whatever is going on in your life, The Lodge is a place where we can gather together and share our experiences of fatherhood. The Lodge are monthly online peer support sessions for dads. The sessions are an informal get together, on zoom. They are super chilled and a chance to meet and talk to other new and like minded dads.

By the way, we won’t be covering any of the practical parenting stuff, like how to feed and burp – this is all about YOU, as a man and as a dad. We know that the dad often plays second fiddle in early parenting but you’ve been through a life changing experience too and you need to have some time to reflect on how you are coping.

The next session is on Wednesday 30th November from 8.15pm-9.30pm and you can sign up here. Our November session will be around men’s health, covering prostate cancer, testicular cancer, cardiovascular diseases and what we can do to make sure we are looking after ourselves.

The aim of the session is to meet other dads, hear how other people are managing it all, share some of your experiences and have a laugh while doing it!
The sessions are a safe space so we ask all attendees to treat each other with respect, empathy and confidentiality. Our facilitators are experienced and trained and we have safeguarding procedures in place. All this helps to ensure the sessions are productive and enjoyable for everyone.
The peer sessions are monthly and last for 75mins.
