Description
Becoming a dad will change your life. It’s one of the most rewarding and difficult journeys you will ever go on. As well as tuning in to how your partner is coping, you may also feel worried about how you will deal with becoming a parent. It’s important that you listen and respond to these thoughts and feelings, and to look after yourself as well as your family. During this workshop we will help you understand: – How dads brains and bodies change during pregnancy – Why your involvement really matters to your children – How your mental health might be affected by becoming a dad – Some of the warning signs of poor mental health to look out for – What local support is available to you and your family if you need it The workshop is for new and expectant dads in the East Lothian area. The 90-minute FREE session will be facilitated by Scott Mair – Head of Training and Community at Fathers Network Scotland. At the end there will be a chance to ask Scott, and a member of the DadsWork Team, any questions you might have. With over 20 years’ experience as a parent of seven children, Scott uses everything he’s learnt to help prepare dads and partners for their journey into parenthood. He has also faced struggles with his own mental health when becoming a dad so truly understands some of the challenges and hardships dads face and what they need. Now considered an expert in his field he regularly speaks as ambassador for dads on an international stage.
