Join us to chat about the realities of fatherhood.
When fathers have strong, reliable social support networks, they are more likely to be involved with their families.
Learn strategies and find guidance to enhance your role as a father during these exceptional and trying times. The goal is to recognize the challenges fathers face; CCS acknowledges the importance of supporting and bonding with modern dads. Exchanges regarding fathers’ experiences and reflections on fatherhood will be encouraged.
Monday, January 11th at 7pm on Zoom
The discussion will be lead by Mardoché Mertilus, Liaison Agent and instructor for the PAPPa Project, under the Regroupement pour la Valorisation de la Paternité.
