Free Program for Fathers and Kids Ages 6-11
Center for Child Counseling (CFCC) is supporting fathers and father figures in building stronger bonds with their children. Through the agency’s Stop Now and Plan (SNAP®) program, a new fatherhood initiative offers tools and guidance to help fathers grow as parents and role models. Fathers and their children, ages 6-11, are invited to join the free 13-week evidence-based program. Groups begin August 18.
The program aims to help youth and their father figures improve communications, pro-social skills, and family relationships. It is funded by the Florida Network of Youth and Family Services as part of its Father First Initiative.
According to Stacy Gromatski, CEO of Florida Network, “We are excited to partner with the Center for Child Counseling in helping fathers and father figures in our lives to learn, grow, and push toward being better every day with the right resources, encouragement, and connection. We stand together with all dads, showing that perfection isn’t the goal, but being present is.”
The SNAP® Fatherhood Groups are open to any father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle, or male caregiver of a child who wants to strengthen their relationship and parenting approach.
If you are interested in learning more or have questions about the program, please email SNAP@centerforchildcounseling.org.
