The web series, developed in partnership with Princess Pictures and featuring comedians Ben Lomas, Dave O’Neil, Sammy J, and Lawrence Mooney, follows twelve fathers as they discuss the stress new dads face through video diaries, round table discussion and live comedy.
Running over four episodes, the web series incorporates detailed information about mental health and where dads can seek further help.
“Dadvice shows the reality of fatherhood for many men – it’s not always a glossy picture,” said Hugh Miller, integrated marketing manager at Beyondblue. “There are pressures that need to be dealt with, and Dadvice aims to provide this guidance to men trying to find their feet as a dad.
“It encourages new dads to speak about how they are feeling, rather than bottle their stress up.”
The online campaign will run on paid and unpaid channels including digital, social as well as in Herald Sun and on the ABC. The campaign launched on Father’s Day and will run through mid-October.
