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.
At this time, all of our support groups will be meeting virtually via Zoom. We are hopeful to move to in-person gathering soon. Stay tuned. If you have questions about using Zoom, please don't hesitate to reach out us.
