Event Details

The DadPad can help. Developed with the NHS, the DadPad gives new dads and dads-to-be the knowledge and practical skills necessary to support themselves and their partner, so that babies get the best possible start in life.

It enables Dads to:

• Reduce their own anxiety by getting involved and gaining in confidence
• Learn how to create a strong bond and healthy attachment with their baby
• Build stronger family relationships by sharing the load and learning how to parent together
• Recognise the signs of postnatal depression, and other signs of mental ill-health, in both yourself and your partner, and learn how to get help early

The DadPad is also intended to assist health professionals engage and build relationships with new dads and dads-to-be. Same-sex parent Pad also available for co-parents and birth partners who are not Dads.

DadPad content can be developed and altered to suit the needs of individual Local Maternity Systems.

Text is clearly and succinctly written, with a clear focus on practical application. Pictures and images reinforce the idea that hands-on parenting by dad is natural and normal.
