The Comeback: Fatherhood Mentoring Group

Empowering Fathers, Strengthening Families, Changing Generations

Overview

Fatherhood is a journey filled with challenges, growth, and deep purpose. The Comeback: Fatherhood Mentoring Group is a space where men—whether they are new fathers, seasoned dads, or father figures—can come together to support one another, learn resilience, and strengthen their roles as leaders in their families and communities.

Using The Parents' Guide to Resilience, this program equips fathers with tools to navigate the ups and downs of parenting while fostering strong, healthy relationships with their children. Through interactive discussions, hands-on activities, and peer mentorship, participants will gain emotional resilience, leadership skills, and a deepened connection to their families.

If your child is enrolled in The Comeback Kid Mentorship Program, this group will complement what they are learning, reinforcing shared language and strategies at home. Regardless of participation in that program, all fathers will receive take-home strategies to apply in their daily parenting.
