Tulalip Tribes Fatherhood Cafe - A Success Story

TheWashington Fatherhood Council and Tulalip Family Haven held a Fatherhood Café at the TELA gymnasium in Tulalip, Washington, with the goal of bringing together dads and service provides to discuss how we can better serve fathers in their community.  During this session, each father displayed a strong desire to learn as much as they could about becoming a better parent and were highly interactive throughout the afternoon. This work allowed the dads to open up about the challenges they face as Indigenous fathers. And it also provided them the opportunity to relate to one another and create bonds with other parents who are on a path toward the same goals.  The Fatherhood Café resulted in a monthly gathering, planned by the dads for the dads, aptly dubbed Dads Group.   Click for additional details.
