We’re continuing our motherhood conversation – but this time, from the perspective of Dads, or non-birthing partners. In this episode of Uniquely Milwaukee, we’re going inside Dad Doula University.

Though pregnancy is physically experienced by the mother, or birthing parent, it is a process that impacts the entire family – and sometimes, Doulas are involved. A Doula is a trained professional who provides support and guidance to their clients throughout the entire process.  (Listen to our Mother's Day episode.)

Joshua Liston-Zawadi is the creator of Dad Doula University. The free program offers classes to help expectant fathers & non-birthing partners prepare for parenthood. 

In this episode:

Dad Doula University has serviced more than 500 families. Cohorts are available every month from April-September over two consecutive weekends. Right now, they are held in Milwaukee inside the Sherman Phoenix. Find upcoming sessions and at daddoulauniversity.com.
