On August 31st, Fixing Fathers, Inc., held its annual Fishing with Dad’s event at the Beaver Pond Park, in New Haven, Connecticut. Parents and their children were treated to a two hour informative training session facilitated by Doreen Abubaker and Loreen Lawrence.  Both Doreen and Loreen are certified instructors for CT Aquatic Resource Education and have been teaching courses in New Haven for 10 years. 

In the world of education, an increasing number of schools and colleges are offering various degrees and courses aimed at adult learners. In many cases, these working professionals can now acquire their degree in less time than it would take the average student.

On June 11, 2019, I stopped by the Community Action Agency of New Haven to talk to a group of fathers who are enrolled in an 8 week program, The Father F.A.C.T.O.R. The program is aimed at strengthening families while building a network of resources for fathers.  The goal of the program is to share and increase their knowledge on what it means to be an effective father throughout their child's life, while also helping them to play a more active role in nurturing and raising their children.  

Fixing Fathers Inc. was honored to have co-sponsored the Men’s Empowerment and Development Breakfast program. The collaborative efforts of Powerhouse Temple Church, Men’s Resource, and Fixing Fathers, Inc., illustrated how men can support one another with brotherly love, integrity, and without judgment. The breakfast was held at the Powerhouse Temple church in New Haven, with the purpose of facilitating discussions relevant to men in the community.
