Healthy Gallatin Home Visiting - Father Support
Patrick Duganz and Michael Mestas help men with the unique experiences of fatherhood. Sometimes it means being an "extra set of hands" during those early days of parenting. Other times it means helping find resources and navigating systems to foster healthy, happy families. They can help dads understand their child’s development, and provide information on a wide variety of parenting and fatherhood issues. Both are trained in Circle of Security Parenting and postpartum mood disorders.
