Dad's Group

Picture
Becoming a father is a major life transition and can bring with it a host of unfamiliar experiences and emotions, including but not limited to, the loss of identify, loss of connection with your partner, financial stress, recreational stress, social stress, and more. At Roots, we know that parenting is hard.  And we know that parenting alone is even harder. Our support groups are here for you. Come join us.  

DADS' Group
Second Wednesdays of the month, 6:30 - 8 PM at Roots, 110 S. Grand Ave, Bozeman. Second floor of the Grand Ave Christian Church building. 
To join us, please register HERE. ​

As a new or expectant father, daily life with the family can be a balancing act of figuring out when to help or fix versus when to listen or be quiet. In the process, it is common to feel stressed, off-balance and even confused about how to relate to your partner, your child, day-to-day household logistics, finances, and, oh yes, baby gear. Plus, all of this happens while the rest of the world more-or-less expects you to profess having a great time, with no trouble holding it together.

This support group for new and expecting dads is a counselor-led support group that will give you a chance to take a breath, be real, and deal with things head on. Along the way, we will work on parenting, relationship, and communication skills while addressing challenges such as:

  • I want to help but don't know how
  • I can't tell when to "fix" things and when not to.
  • I feel distant from my partner or even blocked out
  • I'm not even sure how to feel!
  • This isn't what I thought it would be.
  • I feel uncertainty about the future ($$).

Dads' Group is facilitated by Ian Anderson, a marriage and family counselor in Bozeman who has also been married for eighteen years, navigated two pregnancies and births, and experienced life in the trenches as a stay-at-home dad. He is particularly interested in helping families and couples to develop mutual understanding and deepening connections via improved relational tools such as emotional intelligence and communication skills.

Every family needs support!
