Father’s Day can be a fun day of celebration, but it can also be deeply painful. For those who have experienced the loss of a father or child, or who find themselves hurting and alone, this day can carry a unique weight. We want you to know that we see you, we care about you, and you’re not alone in this.
As men, it can be hard to find community and a safe space to be vulnerable. Below are some resources and support options created to care for you in whatever season you find yourself in and help you build a strong community.
We offer a variety of grief support options at Journey, and have several groups and classes throughout that happen throughout the year. This is for anyone who is experiencing grief in their life, whether from a recent loss or from a loss that's years in the past.
Are you looking to grow into the man God wants you to be? Many of us men had to learn without a lot of guidance, and we are still falling short, but we want to grow and do better. If this sounds like your story, this group is exactly where you need to be.
This recovery program aims to help those struggling with harmful habits that may stem from unresolved grief and pain. We provide a safe place to share experiences, victories, and hopes with others who are going through the same journey.
