Restore offers a free mentorship program called the Padre Program, designed to support men seeking guidance on relationships, leadership, and fatherhood.

You can get involved in one of two ways:

Schedule an appointment in advance, or
Join your partner at her pregnancy test or ultrasound appointment and ask to participate.

After your first meeting, you and your mentor can stay connected by phone, text, or in-person at one of our locations.

Learning that you’re going to be a father can bring up many emotions. Whether this pregnancy was planned or unexpected, your partner is looking to you for support and guidance.

Remember, you’re not alone—there’s help available, and you don’t have to navigate this journey by yourself.
