What we'll talk about

Ten weeks, one season of life.

Each week has a theme, a check-in, time for everyone to share, and one small thing to try before the next session.

Week 1

Why we're here

Getting to know each other and agreeing on how the group works.

Weeks 2–3

Who am I now?

What's changed, what you miss, and the fathers we had versus the father you want to be.

Weeks 4–5

Running on empty

Stress, sleep, early warning signs, and the feelings men are taught to skip.

Weeks 6–7

Partner, family and friends

Your relationship after the baby, asking for what you need, and building your village.

Weeks 8–9

The body nobody talks about

Sleep, food, movement and body image for new dads. No diets, no weigh-ins.

Week 10

Leaving 3 a.m. behind

What's changed, what to keep practicing, and what comes next.

Your facilitator

Jonathan Dang, LMFT, CEDS

For years, I've sat with men who were quietly struggling with fatherhood: dads who loved their kids but felt exhausted, short-tempered or lost, and who told me things in session they'd never said to anyone else. Most of them had no one else to say it to. New moms often have classes, groups and group chats. New dads mostly get a pat on the back and “Get some sleep.”

Now my wife and I are expecting our first child in 2027, so I'm stepping into this season myself. I don't claim to have all the answers. I'm building this group because I know how much the men I work with need a place like it, and I'll be one of them soon.

I started the 3 A.M. Club to fill that gap: a place where men can talk honestly with other dads in the same season of life. As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, I also know how often men's stress shows up in their bodies, through sleep, food and how they see themselves, so we make room for that too.

Questions dads ask

FAQ

Who is this for?

Fathers who are expecting or have a child under 2. You don't need any experience with therapy, just a willingness to talk about what's going on and listen to others.

What does a session look like?

A check-in, a short idea for the week, time for everyone to share, and a takeaway. It's structured, so nobody gets put on the spot and everyone gets time.

What if my baby wakes up during group?

It happens. Mute, take care of your kid, and come back when you can.

Is it confidential?

Yes, with the legal limits we'll go over at your intake. Members agree not to share what's said or record the group.

What if it's not the right fit?

Come to the first session. If the group isn't right for you, let us know within 48 hours and we'll refund the remaining 9 sessions.

Can I join after it starts?

No. It's a closed group so trust can build week to week. Join the interest list and we'll let you know about the next round.

Save your seat at 3 a.m.
