Potential participants must meet individually with a facilitator before beginning group.
Options for Men Next group starts February 2025
Options Men’s Group is a supportive program for men who want to build healthy relationships with their partners. The group helps men move toward the type of relationships they value with their partners, children and others by moving away from the behaviours and ideas that undermine them. Group sessions are held once a week for 12 weeks. Potential participants must meet individually with a facilitator before beginning group.
Caring Dads Program: Next group starts November 2024
Do you sometimes feel so angry at your child that you feel like blowing up? Are you concerned that your relationship with your child is not as close as you hoped it would be? Are you concerned about the level of discipline that you seem to need to keep your child in line?
The Caring Dads program offers a unique opportunity for men to connect as fathers through a combination of group discussions and exercises. This 12-week program is for fathers who want to improve their relationship with their children and end controlling, abusive, and neglectful behaviour.
