Each dad begins by meeting with a Family Support Specialist and Dad Coach to learn more about Skagit Dads Connect. We’ll talk about your goals as a father, how the program can support you, and fill out any paperwork needed.

Fathers meet weekly as a group with our trained facilitators for the 13-week workshop series.

Sessions focus on child development, fathering styles, taking care of yourself, positive discipline, having fun with your kids, and building strong family relationships. The series wraps up with a graduation ceremony for the whole family.

See below for more info on what happens during sessions.

Fathers with personal goals can meet individually with a Dad Coach for support on specific topics.

Coaching can be for things like career development, education goals, health & wellness, or building community support systems. Coaching begins after the introduction and orientation and can continue for up to four months.
