Sole parent Mike Adams and his sons Jamie and Jordon show their support for The Couch at Wellington's Oriental Bay. Over 3,000 people have now joined up.
It’s of vital importance that new parents have all the support they need – but the level and type of support will vary from family to family, depending on their circumstances.
This survey focused on fathers. We wanted to hear from Kiwi Dads about the types of support they would like to receive, and who they would like to receive this support from.
67% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that a parenting pack aimed at fathers would have been useful to them.
