The Fairfax County Department of Family Services invites fathers to join a free Dads Parenting Group to meet on Wednesdays, 6-8:30 p.m., Sept. 11-Dec. 11, at Westlawn Elementary School in Falls Church.
The program will cover fathering skills, parenting skills, relationship skills, self awareness, and characteristics of a 24/7 Dad™. Meals are included.
When fathers are actively involved in their children’s psychological and emotional development, children are less likely to drop out of school and experience mental illness, juvenile delinquency, sexual activity, and substance abuse.
To sign up, fill out an online form, or call Bennie Herron, 703-324-7308, or Champana Bernard, 703-324-3611
