I’m an Aboriginal Dad<br />
1. Service Name I‟m An Aboriginal Dad Support Program/Child and Parent<br />
<strong>Services</strong>.<br />
2. Brief History of Service Engagement is made with the partners of Koori women who use<br />
the transitional clinic.<br />
The Mercy Women‟s Hospital has allocated a space for the IAAD<br />
participants to attend the program to resource information and<br />
skills that will assist them during the transition into fatherhood.<br />
Established groups meet on a regular basis to share knowledge<br />
and any difficulties the men might be experiencing. The group has<br />
a mixture of men that have either just become Fathers or expecting<br />
Father‟s. By being involved in the IAAD program these men find<br />
the necessary skills and assistance that other programs don‟t<br />
currently offer.<br />
CPS, and the I‟m An Aboriginal Dad support program walk beside<br />
young Koori Dad‟s, offering cultural appropriate assistance in<br />
dealing with difficulties that may arise during the pre natal and<br />
postnatal periods. CPS along with I‟m An Aboriginal Dad support<br />
program, and various stakeholders offer an extended support from<br />
a base of cultural appropriate knowledge that meets the aboriginal<br />
communities‟ needs.<br />
