This 17-week group offers a supportive, non-judgmental space for dads who are committed to building safer, healthier relationships with their children and their children’s mothers.

Entry is through an intake process, where you’ll meet with our Intake Coordinator, share some basic information, and make sure the program is a good fit. Appointments are required and usually take about an hour.

Thank you, Tim and friends, for your generous donation and support!

Join us for a creative afternoon of pronoun tag making hosted by local artist/art instructor Stella!

What's a pronoun tag? It's like a name tag, but for your pronouns!

As Stella shares, “I wear a pronoun tag every day because it’s such a useful way to tell people who you are.” Anyone can wear one, and it helps others immediately know how you identify! They're also a simple way to let your trans and q***r friends know they have your support.

Friday, June 5th from 1:30–3:30pm at Acorn Family Place, 202-222 Furby Street (in the program room).
