Join the City of Berkeley's Fatherhood Initiative Support Group, a free five-week series designed to bring fathers together to build community, strengthen parenting skills, and support one another in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.
Whether you're a new dad, experienced parent, grandfather, uncle, stepfather, or another important father figure, you'll find a space to connect with others who understand both the rewards and challenges of raising children.
Each weekly session features guided discussions, interactive activities, practical resources, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships with other fathers in the Berkeley community.
