  • 📢 Join us for our DADx Talk, with Mental Health Foundation & Dads Rock! We’ll highlight the importance of supporting lone parents, the transformative power of community support, and explore the ground-breaking Small Talk Project, whose innovative approach helps engage and uplift fathers. For over two years, the Mental Health Foundation has been collaborating with Dads Rock as part of their Small Talk Project, which is designed to help isolated parents find support and connection in their community. This initiative, in partnership with 7 amazing organizations, has truly helped parents who might otherwise struggle to access supportive peer networks. While the project benefits all lone parents, the collaboration with Dads Rock specifically focuses on engaging and uplifting fathers who may feel disconnected from traditional support networks. Secure your spot below! 📅 Thu 10th Oct 🕒 2PM-3:15PM ➡️ https://bit.ly/3Bm9u40
