New Traditions:
Navigating Fatherhood, Holidays, and Family Time After Divorce
This hands-on evening is designed to support fathers struggling to navigate the holidays post-divorce and who want to create new traditions to connect with their children.
Event Description:
Divorce can make the holiday season challenging for dads, especially when it comes to staying connected with their kids and managing the stress and expectations of the holiday season.
Maybe the other co-parent was the one who did all the “holiday stuff,” and now you feel lost and overwhelmed by the impending holiday season.
This hands-on event will offer a supportive space to gain insights and build confidence as a dad navigating the post-divorce holiday season.
You will gain practical advice and tools to help you create meaningful connections, reduce stress, manage emotional triggers, and make the holidays a special time for you and your kiddos.
After divorce, the holidays can feel lonely, and spending time with a supportive group of men who share similar experiences is invaluable.
