Weekly
SAD DADS CLUB meets via Zoom every Thursday at 8:30pm ET for Sad Dads Open Hour (SDOH) and “My Child, My Story” (MCMS) sessions.
Please read our guidelines below. Then, use this link to register for SDOH/MCMS.
Guidelines: Sad Dads Open Hour (SDOH) + My Child, My Story (MCMS)
SDOH + MCMS provide a safe, supportive community for dads and non-birthing parents.
SDOH + MCMS takes place every Thursday at 8:30pm ET via Zoom. It is a non-clinical, virtual space and there is no fee to join. We ask that anyone joining this space adhere to the following house rules:
- Respect the stories of others.
- Use the “mute,” “raised hand,” and other features on Zoom.
- Share the space with others by ensuring everyone gets a chance to speak.
- Follow the suggested prompts and stay on the topic being discussed.
- Zero tolerance for aggressive and offense behavior and/or language.
If the community feels that any of the above guidelines have been compromised, it will be reviewed by our Guidelines Committee. That may result in an individual being asked not to return to subsequent SDOH + MCMS sessions.
While SDOH is for dads and non-birthing parents, the featured presenter for MCMS is able to invite any family/friends whom they would like to attend their story.
If you have questions or want to learn more, please contact info@saddadsclub.org
