About us
Founded in 2013 by Professor Bruce Robinson in Western Australia, The Fathering Project now has a national footprint in metro, rural and remote communities across the country. The Fathering Project is a secular not-for-profit organisation which provides research-based programs and resources to engage, inform, equip and support fathers, father figures, families, schools, corporates and community organisations. We aim to connect the community to build brighter futures for our children. The research says when fathers are engaged and equipped to be the best they can be, it has significant benefits for a child’s health and wellbeing. Dads Groups are the Project’s core activity and are established within schools and community groups across the country. The groups provide a safe, inclusive and positive environment where father-figures can learn, share, grow and connect with each other, and their kids. The Fathering Project also conducts regular research, evaluating its programs, as well as looking more broadly into societal trends and issues that impact fatherhood.

It's the simple things that make children feel safe from a very young age. As they grow, the way you engage with them will shift, but what remains is the pillar of strength and security you have provided them, allowing them to grow into emotionally intelligent adults with high self-worth and confidence who treat others with respect. This Father's Day, consider how you felt safe with your own Dad, and how you want to raise your children to feel #safewithyou Read more about the theme and access resources here: https://lnkd.in/gznJs-N6

Our CEO Káti Jahromi Gapaillard GAICD spoke with WAYFM about the changing role of fathers 💙💪🏼 We know dads have a critical role in a child's life, and we are seeing the shift of dads being more involved and engaged in their child's upbringing, starting from pregnancy! "New dads are really wanting to be involved and in a really hands-on way from the beginning, so there’s definitely been a change in expectations, but also the change that fathers have stepped up, realising how important it’s for them to be involved in their children’s lives." As this shift continues, it's important the rest of society keeps up. From workplace policies, to healthcare services and general attitudes towards father's equal role in caregiving.

Our Dads Group are meeting online next week and we want you to join us! 🗣 The discussion topic for this month: 🗣 Asking good (open-ended) questions.. We’ve all been there as parents - asking our kids a question only to get a one-word reply in return. 🏫 How was school? "Good" 🎒 "Did you learn anything new today?" "Not really." 🛏️ "Did you sleep well?" "Yeah." We want to get to know our kids, their likes, dislikes, thoughts and opinions, but at the best of times getting more than a few words out of their mouth can be challenging! Solution: Being conscious in asking open-ended questions helps to get them talking more, and we will be discussing the best way to approach this. Join us next Thursday, we have two sessions available: 📅 Thursday 29th August 6:30PM AEST 📅Thursday 29th August 7:30PM AEST Register here: https://lnkd.in/geBgHJun #dadsgroup #onlinedadsgroup #fatherhood
