Being a Dad: How to Manage Difficult Issues
Wednesday Night Nov. 19, 2025
7:00-9:00 p.m.CST, Live In-Person Class
As a dad, are you dealing with difficult issues? Issues in our families, such as a death, a separation, a divorce, financial problems, job loss or demands, health or others can undercut our ability to be the dad we want to be. In this class, we’ll identify complicated personal issues in fathering, select several to focus on, and develop plans for effectively managing them. The class is chiefly built on group discussion and peer support from participants, providing opportunities to learn from our experiences and insights. Join us, whether you are a biological dad, a single dad, a stepdad, or a grandad, for practical strategies and tips on becoming a better dad. Please call TCMC at 612-822-5892 to register.
