​'Supporting Men Becoming Dads'

1:30pm Saturday 23rd March

Becoming a dad, is one of the most important things men will do in their lifetime.  It’s a time of radical change on many levels.  A journey of celebration and connection, but also for some men a time of anxiety and uncertainty.

Understandably, Doula’s and birth professionals play a significant role in supporting dads. You are often the key to helping men in their transition to fatherhood.  Supporting their confidence and building new skills before, during and after child birth.

Working with men and expectant dads is a specialist skill set. However, can often remain a gap in the education and experience of many childbirth professionals. It begs the questions… what are the crucial elements to men’s birthing experience? What is the essential knowledge you need to support dads? And how do you serve dad, as well as mum and baby?

This interactive and experiential workshop will focus on these key questions, highlighting the practical challenges and essential skills needed by Doula’s.  It will share in the celebrations and explore the challenges of Doula’s work with expectant dads.  It will help build relationships with men, providing them a stronger platform to navigate their birthing experience with confidence.

Essentially, this workshop will empower you as a Doula with greater awareness, knowledge and skills to make a deeper impact with the men you are supporting, the woman who are birthing and ultimately the families that you are called to serve.
