Learn More About the Amazing Dads! Program

Description

Amazing Dads! is the new curriculum co-authored by Dan Griffin and Harrison Crawford. This is the first gender-responsive, trauma-informed curriculum designed specifically for fathers. Fathers have different needs, face different challenges, and want different guidance with parenting than mothers do. Building upon a decade of work by Dan Griffin including his groundbreaking book A Man’s Way Through Relationships and his pioneering treatment program Helping Men Recover, this curriculum addresses the complex intersection of male socialization, childhood trauma, and relational struggles that often create disconnection between fathers and their children as well as in their other relationships. The primary goal of this curriculum is to help participants create a vision of the fathers they want to be and to provide them with the awareness, tools, and confidence to achieve that vision.

Topics Included

  • The impact of male socialization on a father’s identity (a core theme that guides the context of the whole curriculum).
  • Skill-building and practical tools fathers can use with, and teach to, their children.
  • Understanding trauma, the specific ways that men experience and respond to trauma, and its effects on fathers.
  • A comprehensive and unique look at relational skill development.
  • Developing emotional fluency particularly as relates to anger and shame.
  • Enhanced communication skills for healthy conflict resolution.
  • Exploring all aspects of health – addiction, mental health, and physical health – and, more importantly, wellness.
  • The influence of family of origin experiences on fathers.
  • Understanding and meeting the changing roles and expectations of men and fathers in the 21st century.
