Better Dads Club

Breaking Old Patterns, Building Better Dads.

Better Dads Club exists for dads who want to show up better, not just for their kids, but for themselves too.

Many dads in our generation are doing more than just raising children. They’re also trying to re-parent themselves. They’ve become aware of the gaps, patterns, or limitations they experienced growing up, and they’re committed to breaking cycles and doing things differently.

That work can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be challenging, confronting, and at times isolating.

We believe mental health doesn’t live in isolation. Our minds live within our bodies. How we move, breathe, sleep, eat, and manage stress has a direct impact on how we think, feel, and respond, especially as fathers.

This month, the Better Dads Club team is taking part in the Push-Up Challenge to support the Mental Health Foundation. We’re using this challenge as a simple, practical way to raise awareness, build connection, and support better mental health for dads and families.

Our hope is that the funds raised go toward helping men navigate the very real vulnerabilities that can surface through fatherhood, leadership, and life.

Better Dads Club is about role modelling a healthier way forward. Not perfection, just progress. One conversation, one rep, and one day at a time.

You can help us push for better mental health in Aotearoa by joining us or donating to our Team.

Funds raised enable The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand to build a future where mental health is treasured, protected and prioritised.
