Dads Matter

Register Here- Dads Sharing

- Dads Inspiring Dads
Ben and the Dads Matter group has been a blessing to me. Ben provided me with much needed practical information and encouragement during a very stressful time. And having the support of other dads who have had their own challenges and successes made a big difference as well.
Dads Matter has been so impactful to me in that it shows me I am not alone. Friends and even sometimes family have no idea of the struggle it is to raise a child with a diverse ability making the road isolating and lonely. This group is empowering to be a part of because it shows me that I am not alone in raising my child.
