partners masterclass
Feel more prepared to support your partner, your baby and yourself through the early weeks.
So much of the preparation is built for mums.
This evening is built for you.
An evening for the dads
When you're expecting a baby, most of the preparation tends to centre on mum and the birth. As a partner, it's easy to arrive at those first weeks at home wanting to help, without being quite sure what that looks like.
Our Partners Masterclass is one evening to help you feel ready for that shift, before you're in the middle of it. Led by Jason from Raising Fathers, it's a relaxed space to ask questions, and to understand what's ahead for you, your partner and your baby.
Just as importantly, you'll be in a room with other dads and partners at the same stage, so you'll know you're not the only one figuring it all out.
the evening
Becoming a parent changes things for you too. This evening gives you the space to think about what that looks like, from staying steady and present through the birth to what those first weeks at home really ask of you.
You'll talk through how to share the mental load once your baby is here, how to look after your own wellbeing, and how to keep the bigger conversations going with your partner as life changes.
It's a conversation rather than a lecture, shaped by the questions in the room, so you'll leave with answers to the things you're actually wondering about.

Jason Seeman is a dad of two and the founder of Raising Fathers, which supports men through pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. He has spent more than a decade creating and facilitating education programs.
Jason brings structure to the evening while letting the room lead the conversation, creating a space that feels warm, calm and easy to open up in, whether you like to talk or would rather listen.
"It struck a chord that as fathers we should be doing a lot more to prepare,
to match our partners' level of research and understanding."

The way you show up in those early weeks starts with the preparation you do now.
Any time in the months before your baby arrives. Most partners join the masterclass that runs alongside their partner's Pregnancy Group, but you're welcome at whichever date suits you best.
The evening focuses on what to expect once your baby arrives, and your role in those first weeks at home. It doesn't replace a hospital birth or antenatal program, and many partners do one alongside this.
No. The masterclass runs alongside our Pregnancy Group, but it's open to any expecting dad or partner.
It's for dads and partners, whoever will be alongside mum in those first weeks and months.
Yes. Our monthly infant first aid sessions with Rhythm First Aid are open to mums and partners, and are a great next step in preparing for your baby's arrival.
We intentionally keep our groups small, and numbers vary from one masterclass to the next. We need a minimum of four dads and partners booked for the evening to go ahead.
You'll find us at 22 Cecil Place, Prahran, in the heart of Melbourne's inner south. While we're based in Prahran, we welcome expecting dads from across Melbourne.
