First-time dads are invited to attend a free lunch and discussion session at Wandiligong this Saturday focused on building connections, sharing experiences and supporting wellbeing during the transition to fatherhood. Hosted by Nick from The Mental Health Coach, the event will provide practical wellbeing tips, honest conversation and an opportunity to meet other local fathers who understand the journey of becoming a parent. The event from 12 noon at the Mountain View Hotel in Wandiligong is free and has a complimentary pizza lunch provided.
