Along with the Caring Dads developers, Dermot Bradley, of London Probation Services, along with Dr. Jane Lindsay from Kingston University participated in training a group of 40 participants with additional assistance from colleagues from London, Wales and Swedan. A few photos from the training below: Conference participants Community Training Opportunities We offer agencies in Ontario, who have an existing presence in the anti-violence movement, and who are interested in potentially running a Caring Dads program, the opportunity to receive training and consultation on implementing the Caring Dads program. We encourage joint applications from child protection agencies, woman's advocacy groups and PAR programs. The training is generally run on two consecutive days by two facilitators. The training can be structured in such a way as to be applicable to managers, program directors, and community partners (one day), and the second day could focus on the specifics of running the Caring Dads group. Please contact us directly for more information about receiving training, providing information about your agency, community partnerships and familiarity with the Caring Dads program.
