Change is Possible! Join our team of men to review the significant life experiences that have shaped how we see ourselves as men, who we are as sons and/or as fathers. Criteria for involvement includes the ability to give and receive support as a part of a team, to maintain privacy, and to help the group to accomplish its goals. Additional rules of engagement will be developed within the group itself.
