Dr. Ricketts realizes that there is a serious fatherhood crisis in the United States and acknowledges most fathers do want to be involved in their children’s lives. Because of the numerous barriers that limit, prevent or discourage a father’s involvement Dr. Ricketts will be facilitating a “Fatherhood Discussion Group”.
Research has found that a father’s absence, under-involvement and un-involvement result in major problems in our society and society benefits when fathers are present and when they are involved in their children’s lives.
At the “Fatherhood Discussion Group” effective strategies to remove barriers and to improve father involvement will be explored. To be a part of the discussion group pre-registration is required as seating is limited. There will be a $20 registration fee which will include materials to be used in the meeting.
