We understand how challenging the first few years of being a parent of multiples can be. Would you like to speak with another dad of twin or multiples? Our peer support service for dads can put you in touch with other dads via a phone call, email or messaging.
Peer Support Service for dads
If you are feeling exhausted or overwhelmed sometimes you just may need a listening ear from somebody who understands. Our volunteer dads understand how challenging the first few years can be. They will be able to empathise with you and talk through any concerns you might have. They can share how it felt to become a dad of twins and explore ways of how you can support yourself and your partner.
The thing that has most helped me has been the ability to talk to other twin parents
