DADS!

🎙 Guest Speaker: Brendon Smith (hes back again YAY!!)

Join us as we welcome Brendon Smith, a dedicated father who has walked the path of fatherhood with passion and dedication. When Brendon found himself approaching 40 and stepping into the role of an at-home dad, he experienced firsthand the joys and challenges of parenting alongside his wife.

Brendon's journey led him to become deeply involved in supporting dads across New Zealand. He's a key figure in organizations like the Father and Child Trust, PADA, and GreatFathers Mana Matua. Currently working with Parent to Parent, Brendon hosts the Papa Aroha Dads Connect sessions via Zoom every Wednesday night.

At this event, Brendon will share his insights, experiences, and wisdom gained from his journey as a father. He's here to offer support, lend an ear, and provide valuable ideas to dads of all ages and stages in their parenting journey.
