The Caring Dads Program has a goal of helping fathers improve their relationships with their children and ending controlling, abusive, and neglectful behavior.
The program is a 17-week support group that will offer men opportunities to connect with other fathers and learn about themselves and their parenting through group discussions, exercises, and homework. The program will allow fathers to develop skills to cope with frustrating situations in healthy ways, understand how different fathering strategies and choices can effect children, increase their awareness of controlling, abusive, and neglectful attitudes and behaviors, and learn strategies to strengthen relationships with their children.
Waypoint seeks volunteers to help with providing meals for this support group (meal size is a group of 10 for our current Cohort). One member cannot have pork, but there are no other dietary restrictions. Classes are on Wednesdays until December 4th at 5:30, so meals are requested to be delivered by 5:15.
