Westport Family Counseling hosted a Discussion Group for Gay Fathers this past Spring 2014.  We will be holding another session this Fall.

The group is aimed towards giving gay dads a place to discuss their experiences with parenting.  The group will address the particular concerns that may arise when men parent outside of the heterosexual paradigm.  The goal is to provide a forum for ideas and discussion and help build community.  The group will also be relevant for those wanting to be dads, and provide an opportunity to learn about the family-building process from men further along in their journeys.

The group will be lead by Dr. Stephanie Schacher, Licensed Clinical Psychologist.  Dr. Schacher has published on gay parenting and her research was recently quoted in The Atlantic Monthly.
