Dads Group Community Catch-Ups: City of Merri-bek

​Man With A Pram is an annual community event that brings together parents, families and communities on Father's Day. Embarking on a mile-long walk, our shared goal is to celebrate and show appreciation for dads, build communities of support, and raise awareness and funds for perinatal isolation.We are focusing on Perinatal Mental Health for fathers and families. We aim to bring forward state and national public dialogue through this event. Join us and be a leader of positive family culture, build your community, and raise awareness and funds for a great cause.Man with a pram is our annual fundraiser for the Dadsgroup Hospital, Digital and Community Programs. Dadsgroup helps families transition into parenthood by running these programs to connect new fathers and families, supporting them in the perinatal years, and preventing depression, isolation, suicide and family violence. Dadsgroup partners with research organisations, hospitals and councils across the country who share in our vision of supporting the mental health of new fathers and families in the perinatal period.Our aim is that Man With A Pram will be a platform this year and in the future to change the culture of fatherhood. We hope to enact changes both in the community as well as in the health and social service system.
