Strengthening Communities Through Fatherhood
we know it’s tough.
We are an independent charity that helps regular men become great fathers and husbands. Specialising in managing anger, overcoming addictions, fitness, wellbeing, parenting skills and relationship advice
The Father’s Course
The program includes a 14-week course, followed by a weekly peer support group every Monday evening. This ongoing group provides graduates with a space to connect, share experiences, and continue supporting one another.
The Fathers For Families program, along with its peer support group and fitness initiative, is designed specifically for dads. Over the past seven years, our experienced facilitators have supported men in navigating significant and complex life challenges, ranging from convictions to substance abuse and beyond.
Week 1 - 5 | For The MAN
This foundational phase focuses on self-awareness and personal accountability. Participants explore their identity, values, and the impact of their behaviour on others.
Week 6 - 8 | For The HUSBAND
This phase helps men strengthen their partnerships by fostering mutual respect, empathy, and healthy communication.
Week 9 - 12 | For The FATHER
The final phase empowers men to embrace their role as kaitiaki (guardians) within their whānau, focusing on their responsibilities as fathers and role models.
Week 13 - 14 | MY JOURNEY
This week’s focus is reflecting on personal growth, achievements and celebrating participant’s progress to graduate one’s journey of self-discovery.
