A Dad's Place: Part 2

Saturday, June 20, 2020 at 8:00 AM–Friday, June 19, 2020 at 9:20 AM PDT
5 - Sierra 5
Workshop Description

Many of us have role models for fatherhood, but few of us have learned how to be a father to a transgender or gender-diverse child. Fatherhood in our society comes with strong expectations, some of which can make it difficult for us to feel secure in our role. Come share your personal experiences, successes, fears, and other lessons in a confidential environment of acceptance, understanding, and support. You are not alone on this journey: let’s offer one another support and assistance. There are two parts to this workshop. You need not attend all sessions to be welcome.
