Hi guys,
I'm pregnant and my partner and I are 21 and 20. I find a huge amount of support available to me as a mother, but there seems to be a complete lack of support around for younger dads. I get inundated with pamphlets and free stuff constantly and medical professionals are flinging themselves at me, but my partner's New status as dad-to-be seems to mean nothing. He feels lonely, anxious and adrift.
Are any of you younger dads? What kind of support networks do you have? Even if you are older, what kind of resources do you turn to for info and advice?

What area are you in? If you're in Christchurch I know there's a young dads group Tane Mahuta run through Waipuna St John of God.
We've also had a few dads along to a breastfeeding support group for young parents that I help facilitate - it's been awesome!

My boyfriend is feeling the same, though he is younger still. I've been looking all over for any kind of support or reading material- anything- for him. He's 17, I'm 16...
