Good Dads

👏 Congratulations to six dads at our Chillicothe chapter for completing the Good Dads FORGE program! Over the last 3 months, these fathers have sharpened their skills in healthy communication, financial management and happy relationships. Many thanks to facilitators Rodney and Steve for their mentorship! It means so much to have camaraderie and support from the people in your life.

Way to go, dads! We couldn't be prouder! 🎉

The communication skills Stan and Allie sharpened in the first years of their relationship are serving them well now that Baby Quinn is on the way. Keep reading on the Good Dads blog: https://gooddads.com/communicating-well-with-baby-on-the-way/

Add your carwash discount pass to your mobile wallet to save and support at the same time!

Glide Xpress Car Wash is working alongside Good Dads to offer their customers at the east Sunshine location 40% off their diamond-level washes—what a great deal! And for every transaction, Glide gives a dollar to Good Dads 😁

We love this way to get something checked off the to-do list while supporting a great cause at the same time!

Today is World Gratitude Day! You don't have to wait until Thanksgiving to express gratitude. Take a moment each today (and every day!) to share what you’re thankful for.

Teaching your children to recognize the good in their life boosts emotional well-being and strengthens positive thinking. Encourage them to thank someone each day.

What are you grateful for today?

Thank you for another successful Training Camp! A dozen facilitators joined Good Dads in Springfield, MO, last week from across Missouri to learn the best ways to lead Good Dads FORGE classes for fathers in their communities.

It was a fast-paced week! In fact, participants received instruction on two Good Dads classes. We covered a lot of ground, and we’re grateful these father-focused leaders were here for the journey.

Anticipation is mounting for the Good Dads fall fundraiser! One of our special events is happening this Thursday, and we hope to see you there! Hosted by the Good Dads board of directors, these unforgettable events are our way of celebrating all the amazing work happening for Good Dads across the state!

These businesses and individuals recognize the power of responsible fatherhood and know their donations are helping fathers and families forge ahead. Hooray!

What a fantastic week for the Good Dads Strong Schools program! We're showing off some of our favorite pics from Forsyth Elementary , Watkins Elementary and West Boulevard Elementary School who are starting the school year off right by welcoming fathers and father-figure into the building in support of their young learners.

Keep it up!

You've probably heard of Love Languages or Love Styles. Another factor in what helps us to feel loved is our upbringings. When our expectations aren't aligned with reality, it can create hurt feelings, even when good intentions are there!
