Fathers’ Support Group

The Fathers’ Autism Support Group at the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute, will be transitioning to Montclair State University under the leadership of Dr. Michael Hannon.  Co-facilitated by Dr. Robert Naseef and Dr. Hannon, the group has been an important resource for fathers and father figures since its launch.

 

Created in response to the need for more resources specifically for fathers of autistic people, the group provides a safe space to discuss issues related to gender, parenting, family dynamics, acceptance, self-care, and coping. It began as an in-person initiative in the fall of 2019 and has continued virtually every month between September and June.
