BUILDING UP MEN & FATHERS
8 years running | 6 week program
The Strengths Men & Fathers Program is a highly successful data and evidence based program delivered over 6 weeks in 7 sessions.
The program is run within a small group of 10-12 men at a time, to allow for genuine conversation and sharing.
The Strengths program is relevant to men from
all age groups, and anyone in a fathering role
(or soon to be fathers).
Strengths is a practical, empowering and supportive program run by men for men.
Strengths partners with community organisations and local businesses so that we can run our program FREE
of charge to the participants. This removes any possible barriers and allows a wider group of men to engage.

SESSION OVERVIEW
-
Sessions run for 2 hours - at Strengths we are conscious of peoples time and value the importance of starting and finishing on time.
-
The session always begins with a meal – this allows time to ‘break the ice’ and for the participants to get to know others in the group and check in.
-
After the meal, the group will come together and a facilitator or guest speaker will present a topic.
-
The group then splits off into smaller groups to allow for discussion and questions.
