P.S. Volunteer Resources

Welcome to the P.S. Dads Rock Volunteer Resource Page!

Here, you will find links to the training you undertook when you became a volunteer, additional organisations for signposting referrals, supplemental articles and books, and more. Click on the red buttons to explore the links and find information and resources for topics such as shared and lone parenting, crisis hotlines, and parents and children with additional needs.

If you can’t find the information you’re looking for, or if you need additional support, don’t forget you can always talk to us in your supervision session or call anytime for support: Contact Us

If you find any useful resources you think we should add to this list please let us know! Lots more information for Dads can be found in our Dads Tool Kit.
