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.
