How do we build the capacity to be connected: Living a connected dad life.

The Center for Social Justice invites you to watch and explore ways to become a more connected Dad. Given that parenting has no checklist, parental manual, or diploma, how do we manage connection and disconnection with our children? According to Brian Anderson, from Living a Connected Dad Life, parents make mistakes every day, every hour, but we must manage fatherhood as we do our careers by staying engaged, practicing strategies for connection, and improving communication.  

We invite all dads, moms, grandparents, uncles and aunts, and anyone connected to a child in any way to watch the first of an engaging interactive series on fatherhood/parenthood.  

We welcome you to join us for the remaining three workshops, where we will continue to discuss topics related to fatherhood.
