North East Outreach and Support Services (NEOSS) is launching a new program in northeast Saskatchewan aimed at helping fathers take responsibility for harmful behaviour and learn healthier ways to parent. The program, called Caring Dads, will begin on Jan. 27 and will run in Melfort and Nipawin, with the ability to expand to other communities within the NEOSS region if there is demand. Caring Dads is designed specifically for men who have been physically or emotionally abusive toward their partners or children or who have exposed their children to domestic violence. “Caring Dads provides real value to help fathers improve their relationship with their children and end controlling, abusive, and neglectful behaviour,” she said. Referrals to the Caring Dads program can be made by contacting NEOSS Outreach Manager Tracey Zwozdesky at 306-812-7292 or by email at tzwozdesky@neoss.caarjun.pillai@paherald.sk.ca
