Working out Dads gives fathers raising children aged 0 to 9 years with developmental delay or disability a supportive space to connect with other dads, feel less alone, and build confidence in parenting and wellbeing.

This free six-week online program runs on Tuesday evenings for 90-minutes.

Working Out Dads is an evidence-based program developed by Tweddle Child and Family Health. ACD has partnered with Tweddle to tailor the program specifically for fathers of children with developmental delay or disability.

You’ll learn about

Tips for positive relationships
My child and me
Fathers’ roles and family strengths
Dealing with stress and focusing on the future

Other Dads have said

“Talking with other dads who just get it made a big difference. We were all in the same boat.”
“I learned that every dad has a story, and we can connect through shared experiences of raising a child with a disability.”
“It strengthened my mental health and made me a more confident dad.”
