Description

Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.


For today’s episode, we are talking about inevitable stress and necessary self-care following the birth of a first child, but not from the perspective you might expect. When it comes to self-care, new dads may struggle to find information that applies to them. Sadly, this make them feel unprepared and alone if they’re struggling. You’ll hear from several dads about their experiences and discover practical steps for self-care as a new father.
