SUMMARY:Dad 2 Dads Group
DESCRIPTION:Parenting doesn’t come with a handbook and for many dads\, it also doesn’t come with enough space to talk honestly about stress\, emotions\, and expectations. Dad 2 Dads is a supportive class series designed to help fathers strengthen their parenting skills\, care for their own mental wellness\, and build meaningful connections with their children. \nEach session focuses on real-life challenges dads face today\, offering practical tools\, guided discussion\, and a judgment-free environment where growth is encouraged.
