"Every single dad should do this course"
"All of the information made me feel way more comfortable with the upcoming birth of my child. The sense of community was absolutely fantastic. " - Derek
"Before this course I was so naive"
"It's making my partner feel really good that I am doing this!"
- Chris
"This led to important conversations with my partner"
"We're laying the foundations for the future. This is a practical way to contribute to our babies life"
- Nathan
"There isn't another program like this, there are many classes, many bits of material, but nothing draws it all together for fathers. It's specific, it's targeted, it's needed for men who I think we've left out of the story for too long and we wan't to bring them back in. The sensible thing to do is to prepare and having the opportunity to do that is provided through this course"
Professor of Midwifery
"It is vitally important to involve and prepare an expectant father to enable him to then support his partner during pregnancy, childbirth and following birth. Often dads-to-be receive information second-hand and some are too afraid to ask for help. There is an urgent need here in Australia and around the world to provide a resource that is specifically designed for these guys to access. The Prepared Dad Program meets this deficit and is a valuable, user-friendly resource."
Obstetrician and Gynaecologist
"It is absolutely amazing work you are doing in this space Steven Kennedy . As an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, I appreciate the incredible value of having partners prepared to support the mums and the new baby. I am glad to contribute to this important journey towards involved and supported fatherhood."
Midwife and Doula
"An online course designed by men for men. We know with birth education a lot of it is focused on the mum and dads tend to get quite neglected. This is a way male partners can step away and do a course, and come back to the birthing mum and say "guess what i learnt" and feel more confident."
