Fathers' Forum 2023
Men’s Group for Father’s of Young Children (Birth to 5 years old)
The focus of the Fathers’ Forum Men’s Group for Dads is to share and explore with a small group of dads (group limited to 7 men) our hopes, aspirations and disappointments of being fathers. We live in a culture that does not prepare us for the profound transition from “man to dad.”
The early years of parenting can be quite isolating if we don’t have other fathers to talk over our experiences with.
In our group we will explore the cultural and social myths of fatherhood, our relationships with our own fathers, changes in relationships with our partners, balancing career and family, changes in sexuality, expressing anger and frustration and the diversity of parenting styles.
Ongoing Group for 2023 (contact us to see if there is an opening)
Group meets 7:00pm- 8:30pm (Pacific Standard Time) every other Thursday evening. (ONLINE via Zoom)
Cost $120 per month. We ask that after attending the first session you to make a commitment for 3 months. (Total of 6 sessions).
Facilitator:
Jason Brand, LCSW is a psychotherapist in Berkeley, California. In his private practice, he works with men and couples. Jason lives in Berkeley with his wife of 20 years and their two teenage daughters.
