A popular support group through CHI St. Joseph's Health in Park Rapids has now expanded into the Walker area. The father project connects dads or father figures in the community with each other to talk about different topics such as healthy relationships, good communication and how to discipline your children. The group also provides case management, child support services, family activities, GED and employment services. If you ever give a time in the group you could have 500 years worth of fathering experience and so if you've got a dad sitting to your left whose first child is on the way and a dad sitting to your right who's got five kids and three grandkids imagine what you can gain from insights. I went through the program myself and I have special needs daughters and it has really helped me with communication with them.

The free meetings will take place at the faith house in Walker every Wednesday from 4 30 until 6 30 p.m. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
