Fatherhood Initiative of Central Vermont
The Fatherhood Initiative of Central Vermont will be supporting new fathers before and after the birth to see that they are prepared to welcome a new member into their family. This support is in the form of classes, one-on-one support, and postpartum follow up visits to discuss concerns during the first week or two. There will also be a Daddy Support Group that will meet once a month where fathers might bring children and actively support each other. For more information or to join a class, contact the Good Beginnings office at 802-595-7953.
Our Fatherhood Program is facilitated by Sebastian Chandler. Sebastian will support dads either before birth or after to see if there are any needs Good Beginnings might help with, to make the transition of the new member into the family more successful. Feel free to contact Sebastian in central Vermont at the Good Beginnings office at 802-595-7953.
