Dads Group
About
This group explores the many challenges facing fathers of divorce and how they can engage in effective co-parenting with their former spouse (even when it seems impossible).
Dads are not the most likely candidates to reach out for support when they are struggling. Instead they are more apt to cope in silence and use whatever internal resources they have to get by. But when fathers are willing to risk opening up to other men about their challenges, they often find they can draw upon each other’s strengths while normalizing the distress. Men going through a divorce need to know they are not alone.
The group will explore many topics such as:
How to be an effective co-parent with a difficult ex
What are my legal rights as a father
How can I protect my children from adult issues
The importance of reinventing yourself and benefitting from divorce
How to avoid confusing your children when their mother's rules are different
The importance of accessing support and knowing what resources are out there
How to keep a pulse on your kids' lives when you have less time with them
When should I handle things outside/inside the courtroom
Who wants to meet a divorced dad and where do I go

Facilitator Bryon Remo, M.Ed., LMFT
Having both professional and personal experience with divorce, I have had the opportunity to truly understand and connect with many father's who are struggling to manage the divorce and post-divorce process. Reaching out for support is not something most men are comfortable doing. This group has given me the privilege of being both the helper and the helped. Dads are under supported and this group gives men a voice and opportunity to share their successes and struggles and receive invaluable feedback in areas that aren't always easy to discuss.
