My Dad’s Group and PAR• My Dad’s Group and the Men’s Groups (PAR) work independentlyand complement each other• Fathers who abused their children’s mothers usually attend theMen’s Group first before entering My Dad’s Group to address theirissues of woman abuse• Men are expected to show progress re respecting their partners• Mothers need to be safe• While the PAR program emphasizes accountability, attitude andbehaviour changes, My Dad’s Group focuses on supporting fathersin developing a child centred parenting approach
Therefore…We believe that in order for fathers to engage in change, we must:• Encourage, excite and empower fathers in their roles as they learn totake ownership for their choices as fathers.• Help fathers understand how their roles as father, man and malepartner impact on their children and families …• Focus on the health and nurturance of children and their fathers byhelping them build healthy father child relationships• Be a place for all fathers to feel safe and comfortable …• Help men understand the social and cultural construction of oursociety including gender issues and gender stereotypes and how theyimpact on fathers, mothers and children and how to deal with theseissues constructively
