Dear Parenting Together Washington County Partners,

 

We are very excited to partner with Clackamas Parenting Together and the Oregon Family Support Network to launch our first Nurturing Fathers online series facilitated in English.  The vital role that fathers and father figures play in parenting and raising children to become successful adults is often unrecognized.  Many fathers and father figures have taken bold steps to participate in a variety of parenting support or series opportunities.  They find often that they are the only father in a group of moms and many of those fathers shared how great it would be to form a community with dads, to learn more from other dads and to learn, share and grow as part of a dad’s community.  Well, those fathers and father figures no longer must wait for that opportunity – the opportunity has arrived.  Click on the blue link below to access a downloadable flyer with all the details, contact info and how to register.  Help make this investment and partnership a success – connect a father or father figure today!
