The Dad Discussions are a series of workshops enabling dads (step dads, partners, bonus dads - all are welcome) to connect, learn and reflect on how to support and live harmoniously with women and girls in their lives. The workshops will cover a range of topics including puberty, menarche, peri-menopause and menopause. So often these topics are shrouded in secrecy and shame, and the hormonal changes happening to women during these times can be misunderstood or at worst stigmatised. This can result in challenges for everybody when trying to maintain healthy and positive relationships.

Whether you feel overwhelmed with how best to support your child, or are sailing through with confidence (or somewhere in between!), this workshop will give you the opportunity to learn, connect and reflect on the vital role you play when your daughter is experiencing puberty.
