We would like to share a big thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate our first Dad’s Drop-off Breakfast last Friday to celebrate Father’s Day.  It was a wonderful morning and great to see so many people in our community coming together to connect with one another. A special thank you to the team that brought the event together and helped to make the morning a great success.

This week’s webinar Highlight is: Fatherhood Redefined. 

Webinar summary: Family dynamics have shifted significantly over the last couple of decades. These days the default caricature of a dad is somewhat clueless. Incompetent, goofy, irresponsible, and undisciplined.

Some dads are leaning right into it, because hey! Why wouldn't you? On the other hand, many fathers reject this stereotype, stepping up to the plate, and contributing wherever they can. But they're still struggling to define what it means to be a man, or how to show up for their families as the best version of themselves.

Science clearly shows us that families thrive when fathers are engaged, present and involved. Their innate strengths and capacity have potential to weave resilience and tenderness into the fabric of family life, shaping character and values with wisdom and support.

Families need fathers, and fatherhood needs to be redefined. Join Dr Justin Coulson for this clarifying and hope-filled webinar that celebrates the unique and invaluable role of fathers in families.
