Dad's Tool Kit expands for 2025
We asked for your feedback about the program and as a result, we’re expanding the offering to suit more dads, at more times.
Dad’s Tool Kit is a proactive parenting program helping dads to explore how their own life experiences shape their interactions with their children and partners. Through education and awareness, Dad’s Tool Kit fosters attachment, positive relationships and managing boundaries.
The expansion now caters to three key groups:
- Expectant dads looking to learn about pre-birth preparation, labour support and infant developmental stages.
- Full time working dads who prefer a Dad’s Tool Kit Intensive, delivering the program over two eight-hour sessions on weekends.
- Pre-school dads wanting to play and connect with the children aged 0-5 in a supported 1.5 hour playgroup session.
For more information, or to register your interest, please contact the Early Help Team at Cafs on 1800 692237 or email welcome@cafs.org.au.
Participant Feedback
- “Really loved hearing from Dad’s about their experiences. Really appreciated the opportunity to complete the course. I now do things everyday with heightened awareness and will ultimately be a better dad from what has been learnt. Can’t thank Cafs enough. Topics were all relevant despite every Dad having their own unique circumstances.”
- “I am getting a lot out of the program. I never really gave much thought to how my own actions impacted my kids, particularly my son. It is starting to make a lot of sense why my son is struggling at the moment and playing up a bit. It probably all comes back to my actions he was witness to. I now have a lot of work to do to help him understand that my actions were wrong.”
- “Loved the program, being able to listen to other Dad’s experiences and how they have overcome their own adversities. Was a huge learning experience.”
- “Believe every father would benefit from DTK. Soaked up a lot of useful information for the future.”
