Why We Drive
DAD drive days are always about connection and community. They hold the intention to normalise mental health problems and mental illness, promote conversations around these and offer pathways for seeking further support.
We use driving and the shared enthusiasm for cars and great roads as our way of connecting and escaping downward emotional spirals. We know that connection is vital for mental wellbeing, and DAD events deliver this in spades.
DAD isn’t a club, it’s a community. Please don’t feel you need to have a particular ir jordan 4 military blue 202 model or age of car to attend – if you love it, bring it.
Our drive days are strictly social and non-competitive. We use open roads and carefully plan our drive routes to make them as safe and logical as possible, while using engaging roads with interesting scenery for a great day out. Safe driving behaviour is a non-negotiable part of our event. Keeping everyone safe on the road is of utmost importance.
We advocate for using DAD drive days as an inclusive environment to start your mental health conversation where you feel comfortable to do so, however DAD drive days are not a crisis service.
What’s Happening for the Melbourne Summer Drive Day in February 2026?
For our first Melbourne drive day of the new year, we’re heading south of the city. The format for this day will include a short drive route on inland Mornington Peninsula roads, to end at a very special location. Here, we’ll introduce you to our world-renowned co-hosts, share motoring insights you won’t hear anywhere else, and share a day that’s truly adidas puremotion shoes halo blue womens , The adidas ZX 8000 GORE – TEX Golf Appears in ‘Core Black’ – OdegardcarpetsShops° memorable. As always, this event will be underpinned by our mission to support mental health through the freedom of driving, normalise mental health conversations and remove barriers to accessing help.
The end-of-year and Christmas season can be challening and bring a mix of experiences and emotions.
