Their long-awaited New Dads Meetup is a place for local dads to navigate fatherhood together.
- Meet-ups give New and Soon-To-Be Dads the chance to socialize, support, and learn from each other through this very special stage of life.
- Meetings are held the first Sunday of each month at 3:00 p.m at BB’s Crispy Chicken in Durham, and are free (plus cost of snacks/beverages).
- New Dads Meet-Up is a peer-to-peer support group, facilitated by a local father and former Emerald Doulas client, but the general discussion and flow of each meeting is led by the needs of the group.
- Meetings are open to any soon-to-be dad or new dad and you do not have to be a client of Emerald Doulas to attend! Dads are welcome (and encouraged!) to bring baby to each meet-up.
- Like all of Emerald Doulas offerings, this is a trans-inclusive group and is open to anyone who identifies as a father.
- Join the Facebook group for changes and reminders!
