Dads Helping Dads

The Central Illinois Resource for Dads.

Welcome

firefox-gray

A free resource for all Central Illinois Dads.

It's a place where dads of all stripes can come together to talk about the challenges, issues, and triumphs of being a dad. We share stories and help each other find solutions, information, and resources to help us be the best dads we can be.

Want to learn more? Join us at one of our free meetings!

Meetings:

  • When?: Mondays from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. (except on state holiday Mondays)
  • Where? The Children's Foundation, 403 S. State, Bloomington
  • Who? ANY dad wanting to grow in his role
  • What? Join other dedicated fathers in a confidential and understanding atmosphere to discuss various topics.

Free food & beverages, and onsite child care provided with advanced RSVP.

For more information or to RSVP, please contact facilitator Henry Alexander at (309)662-9453 or agency contact Mendy Smith at (309)834-5231.

At meetings, dads get together, have dinner, and those that want to can share about themselves and their weeks (the week just past, and/or the week upcoming), events in their lives, questions, comments, concerns about their children/families, etc.

Through the facilitator and the sponsoring organizations, attendees have a connection to the local social service agencies in McLean County. If requested, the facilitator can work with the "Parents Care + Share" Coordinator to get a referral, additional information, etc. Parents Care + Share is actually an umbrella of programs state-wide so non-local information may be available as well.

The benefits of attending include a forum to meet and network with other dads, share experiences, and address dad-specific life opportunities. There is never a cost to any dad for attending, and there is not a formal process to "join". Just come check it out!

Future:

As time progresses we will add to this site interactive forums and provide resource articles for you - the reader.
