Creating life-long fatherhood memories...

Fathers have an important influence on children’s health and wellbeing, however, they are significantly underrepresented in health promotion programs targeting parents. A recent review of all parenting programs delivered internationally showed that only 6% of participants were fathers.

The Daughters and Dads program is the first program to ever target the Daughter and Dad dyad. There have been more than 20 Mother and Daughter programs. Emerging research has also shown that children may independently and uniquely benefit from positive male involvement.

Absolutely, we welcome her attendance with a significant male figure in her life. This might be a step-father, grandfather, uncle, older brother or trusted family friend.

The program is designed to educate and motivate male role models as the agent for changing a girls' physical activity levels, sport skills and social-emotional wellbeing. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept daughters attending the program with their mothers.

With only limited spaces available it is important that you are able to commit to all dates in order for this free program to gain the necessary support to continue. Please be mindful of this before registering.
