Durham Young Dads project
Durham Young Dads Project provides free one-to-one and/or group support to young dads and dads-to-be (aged 25 and under) in County Durham.
They support young dads to grow, as well as helping them to develop their parenting skills. This could be support to deal with challenges young dads are facing now, as well as helping them to develop the knowledge and skills they need to make positive changes to improve the wellbeing of young dads and their families. This is done through mentorship, educational resources and community engagement, to create an environment where young dads can thrive.
