Dads' Advisory Group
The Dads' Advisory Group has been established to give voice to the unique experiences of fathers in the perinatal period. Made up of lived experience members and experts in fatherhood research and practice, the group looks to further the important developments in the perinatal mental health space which acknowledge the significant role that fathers play in child and family wellbeing.
Gidget Foundation Australia will draw from the valued insights of Advisory Group members to ensure service inclusivity and visibility of fathers in our materials, programs, and workforce training opportunities. Information and advice will be gained to deliver appropriate support and advocacy, ensuring all parents benefit from our services and can experience improvement in perinatal mental health concerns.
The group will meet quarterly to ensure commitment to improving awareness and advocacy of perinatal mental health issues in fathers. We will focus on development of father-friendly and inclusive resources and training, awareness building, advocacy for inclusive policies, fostering collaboration across stakeholders in the sector, creating partnerships, and upskilling of the clinical workforce to increase competence in working with fathers.
Please submit your details below and we will be in touch soon.
