fatherhood unfiltered
A safe space for dad jokes, being goofy and where real talk is encouraged!
The 1st Tuesday of every month
Whether you're a soon-to-be dad, biological dad, stepdad, father figure, or partner—you're welcome here.
Join our inclusive Community of Dads for connection, support, and a space to be real.
Bring your dad jokes, your stories, and whatever's on your mind.
We’ll have coffee, tea, and snacks ready.
This is your space. Let’s talk dad-to-dad.
At La mère à boire-Moms For Milk, we're very comfortable with different languages! Our services and activities are often bilingual or offered in French, English or Spanish.
Our volunteers speak many different languages. If we can accommodate you, we will!
To complement our team of Dads, we have another great partner, Mardoché, who joins us. He also animates the importance of team parenting workshops for couples!
Mardoché Mertilus
With over 10 years' experience as a street worker and then clinical coordinator in the West Island of Montreal, Mardoché joined the (RVP) team in 2019 to become a trainer and liaison officer for the Programme d'Adaptation des Pratiques aux Réalités Paternelles (PAPPa). It was his work with young single fathers that sparked his interest in fatherhood. He took part in the Père à cœur project and created the very first prenatal courses specifically for fathers in his region. In addition to his knowledge of the field and his experience in training facilitators and supervising teams, he has a keen sense of interpersonal skills and an authenticity that make him an outstanding facilitator! At RVP, Mardoché was quick to take on board new knowledge about fatherhood, and he soon had the opportunity to travel to several regions of Quebec to run PAPPa workshops. An experienced trainer, Mardoché is also known for his attention to needs and his commitment to supporting organisations.
