The Prince William County Fatherhood Initiative will start a new fatherhood support group on Monday, November 7, to help fathers become the best parent they can be. Any father in Prince William County can attend the group meetings for free.
The meetings will take place on Monday evenings from 7pm to 8:30pm at the A.J Ferlazzo Building in Woodbridge (15941 Donald Curtis Drive, Woodbridge, VA 22191). The group will explore various topics that impact parenting, such as encouragement, education support, co-parenting relationships, and discipline strategies. Interested participants should seek information or register by emailing [email protected].
The Prince William County Fatherhood Initiative’s mission is to empower fathers to do what is in the best interest of their children. When fathers are involved in the lives of their children, especially their education, kids learn more, perform better in school, and exhibit healthier behavior, according to proven research.
The Initiative is led by a Steering Committee made up of social service professionals and community partners to administer programs that engage parents with their children. In addition to the Initiative’s 10-week long support group, the Initiative also hosts an annual “Dad’s Play Day” event to celebrate Father’s Day and a “Daddy-Daughter Dance” to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
