Calling new Dads and Male Carers

This week is the first Drop-in for Dads – a new drop-in health clinic for Dads and Male carers.

Why not pop along to Byker Sands Family Centre from 3 pm on Tuesdays? You can ask questions, get your baby weighed, and see what support is out there for the challenges that parenthood brings.

The weekly sessions are put on by Newcastle City Council’s Children and Families team. It’s a friendly space to ask questions, get advice, learn skills and build your confidence as a parent.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Get Answers: Have questions about your little one? Our friendly health professionals are here to help you with all your queries.
• Baby Check-Up: Get your baby weighed and ensure they’re growing strong and healthy.
• Build Confidence: Learn new parenting skills and boost your confidence in a supportive setting.
• Connect: Join our new dad support network and meet other dads on the same journey as you.
• Discover Local Resources: Find out what’s happening for you and your family in your community.
• Wellbeing Support: Get support for physical, mental, and sexual health – because your wellbeing matters too!
