Improving and Integrating Urban Indigenous Health Services

Deadly Dads

BiOC Deadly Dads - Aboriginal Dad with a bub on his shoulders.

Empowering Indigenous men to be Strong and Deadly dads

Deadly Dads is a service for men whose partner is birthing their bub through the Birthing in Our Community service.

Our dad support worker provides one-to-one support on areas that include:

  • transitioning into fatherhood
  • understanding your family dynamics
  • father/child relationships
  • parenting skills
  • emotional health and wellbeing.

Deadly Dads-to-be will learn their support promotes positive outcomes, better psychological and emotional support throughout their partner’s journey to the birth of bub.

What to expect at a Deadly Dads workshop?

Our dad support worker walks alongside our dads to support them on their journey to fatherhood. 

We offer Labour, Birth and Beyond antenatal workshops for expectant first-time dads, as well as a social catch-up for all BiOC dads. 

Expect an afternoon or evening with our dad support worker, fellow deadly dads on a similar journey to you, information and support, plus a light feed. 

Upcoming workshops

Our next antenatal workshops are advertised on the BiOC Facebook page. They will be run four times per year. If you’re interested in attending, contact on the right-hand side.
