You don’t have to be a dad to attend this free day of workshops focused on strengthening the bond between fathers and their families; moms and other care providers are welcome.

Workshops cover topics including “How to be a dad and play like a kid,” domestic abuse and talking to your kids about tough topics.

There’s only space for 150 participants, so sign up now!
