In The Thick Of It: Group for Dads of Children Ages 0-5

Saturdays in March from 3/08/25 - 3/29/25

8:30-9:30am at Richmond Wellness (53 Railroad St., Richmond VT)

$80/person for the 4-week series (or covered for those with Medicaid or BCBS)

Ages 0-5 are notoriously some of the most emotionally and physically intense of all the parenting years, and also when co-parenting stress can take a toll on relationships. Here at ITAV we find it deeply unfair that fathers often do not have the same kind of easy access to resources, communities, and targeted advertising that mothers do, and so the learning curve can feel steep. That's before we even take into account gender norms, society's expectations, and the tension that can arise when you may be choosing to parent differently than you were parented.

This 4-week series of 60-minute groups is appropriate for anyone identifying as a father figure to children ages 0-5. Whether you're a new father trying to put a name to identity shifts and the many side effects of sleep deprivation, or a father of toddlers and preschoolers navigating occupational changes and stressors while concurrently trying to learn how to connect with your kids, this is the group for you.

Each session will have a theme with concrete resources and use of humor as appropriate in an effort to demystify the experience of parenting during this sometimes difficult season. Sign up by 3/07 at 12pm at www.ittakesavillagevermont.com/events
