‘Will I be a good dad?’ is a common concern amongst new dads and dads-to-be.

The Focus on New Fathers program provides a free text message based service called SMS4dads.

Free tips, tools and links – directly to dad’s phone To help new dads and dads-to-be navigate the changes, before and after the birth of their baby, NSW Health and the University of Newcastle have partnered to deliver SMS4dads. Once new dads and dads-to-be are registered, they’ll receive practical tips, tools and helpful links directly to their phone. You’re eligible: • if you are 18 years or older • if your partner is at least 16 weeks (four months) pregnant; or • from your baby’s birth until they are 6 months old.

Just wanted to say thanks for this project. The text messages have been invaluable and I couldn’t have known just how much I needed to receive these short and helpful messages.

Registration is free and easy. www.health.nsw.gov.au/ focus-on-new-fathers
