In today's ever-evolving landscape of family dynamics, the traditional roles of fathers have transcended beyond mere breadwinners to nurturing caregivers and essential partners in raising children.

It also helps challenge traditional gender norms and encourages a more equitable division of caregiving responsibilities, which is beneficial for both dads and mothers. Dads often experience isolation due to traditional gender roles, which have historically relegated them to the role of breadwinners. Many men only hear about how to parent from the women in their lives so having spaces where they can share and learn from other men is important. Four in every five suicides are men, dads in the perinatal period are 47 times more likely to be deemed a suicide risk, 20% of new dads say they felt completely isolated in the first year of fatherhood and 76% reported feeling depressed at some point in the first 5 years.
