Connecting Dads to Support and Empowerment

We understand that being a dad comes with its unique challenges and that sometimes additional support is needed. That's why we offer a Referral Pathway Service, connecting dads to a network of organizations and services that can enhance their well-being and involvement in their children's lives.

The Purpose of the Referral Pathway Service

Our Referral Pathway Service aims to address these needs by connecting dads with the right resources and organizations that can provide the support they require. Whether a dad is facing challenges with mental health, unemployment, housing, or simply needs guidance on how to be more involved in their children's lives, our service acts as a bridge, ensuring that dads have access to the assistance they need to thrive.

  • One of the significant benefits of utilizing our Referral Pathway Service is the access it provides to a wide range of support services. We have established partnerships with organizations that specialize in mental health, employment, housing, education, and other crucial areas of well-being. Through our network, dads can discover and connect with these services, gaining access to resources and professionals who can offer specialized assistance. This comprehensive approach ensures that dads receive holistic support, addressing various aspects of their lives and empowering them to overcome challenges and build a better future for themselves and their children.

  • At From Lads to Dads, we understand that each dad's journey is unique, and their support requirements may differ. Our Referral Pathway Service focuses on providing personalized support that caters to the individual needs of dads. When dads reach out to us, our experienced team takes the time to understand their specific challenges, aspirations, and circumstances. Based on this information, we connect them with the organizations and services that align with their requirements. This personalized approach ensures that dads receive tailored assistance, maximizing the effectiveness of the support they receive and enabling them to make meaningful progress on their fatherhood journey.

  • By utilizing our Referral Pathway Service, dads can experience significant improvements in their overall well-being and involvement in their children's lives. Through the connections we facilitate, dads can access support that directly addresses their challenges, whether it's counseling for mental health, job placement assistance, or parenting workshops. By addressing these areas, dads can experience enhanced mental and emotional well-being, increased confidence, and a greater sense of purpose in their role as a father. This, in turn, positively impacts their relationships with their children, strengthening the bond and creating a nurturing environment for growth and development.

Your Confidentiality and Safety

We understand the importance of creating a secure and non-judgmental environment where dads can freely express themselves. Any information shared during our meetings or interactions is treated with the utmost respect and kept strictly confidential. This ensures that dads feel comfortable and empowered to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or consequences.

Expert Guidance from Experienced Facilitators

Our Referral Pathway for Dads is led by a team of experienced professionals who specialize in fatherhood support and early childhood development. Our facilitators have a deep understanding of the unique needs of new fathers and draw upon their expertise to provide accurate and up-to-date information. By combining research-backed insights with practical advice, we ensure that our course participants receive the highest level of guidance and support.

    I've attended just two sessions with FLTD after hearing about Dave's work on Facebook. I already | have a grasp of the sense of community within the group and how Dave has fostered a safe space for everyone. All topics are encouraged. There is a wide group of Dads taking part - Dads to be, new Dads, and more experienced Dads, so there is a foundation of knowledge in each discussion…

    There is no question too personal, and everyone gets a chance to be heard. You could have a tough time with your newborn, questioning if you are doing things the right way or not, once you get on the zoom call, you quickly realize all Dads go through similar experiences and this gives you confidence. Plus, there is a good mix of people on the call to have some banter also, which is great.

    | found it very informative and beneficial to be able to take part and ask questions to other Dads about any tips they might have in being a first-time Father. Last night’s session was about getting small ones to sleep, and any advice is always great to take on board, not only for the small people but also for their parents to function and be the best parent possible.

    Having a place for men to talk openly and honestly about the fear and worry of becoming a parent is unique. Thanks to everyone at FLTD. It is a brilliant initiative and badly needed in all communities; we often get forgotten and left behind as Dads.
