Nurturing Fathers Support Group

The Nurturing Fathers Support Group provides a safe and impactful space for tribal fathers to come together and open up to one another about trauma, parenting, relationships, traditional ways, and healing. Medicine Man Guy Cash has been facilitating the small group of men and has found that it can be challenging for fathers to find safe places to become vulnerable and discuss the heavy topics that weigh on their hearts or minds. According to Guy, the Nurturing Fathers Support Group helps to fill that gap and gives men a space to be seen and heard. The group acts as a network of fathers who work collectively to discuss their hardships and provide advice to one another. This connection continues outside of the group's physical meeting space. The men are encouraged to keep in touch outside meeting times as another form of support. Participants also work on personal growth and finding a better understanding of themselves. They aim to accomplish this through a more traditional lens where men learn about Indigenous practices and healing methods. Tribal fathers who feel they may benefit from this group are encouraged to reach out to Medicine Man Cash at 774-238-1775 for more information on attending. The group currently meets on Tuesdays from 12:00 - 1:30 at the Community and Government Center.
