Dad's The Man!

When it comes to being "the Man," you don't have to be rich, you don't have to be perfect, but you DO have to be there.

A new program to help men become great fathers. This new program will link new and troubled dads with experienced dads. The program helps each father define his manhood in terms of his innate sense of responsibility to protect and provide for women and children.

Any barrier to you becoming the primary provider and protector of your child, and enjoying the obvious rewards, is the potential target of our counsel and help.

Dad, you make all the difference in the world!

Counselors recognize "post abortion syndrome" that is felt by men as well as women: loss, sorrow, depression and anger, often lasting years after the event.

Symptoms for PAS include: anxiety, grief, shame, guilt, nervousness, anger, nightmares, feeling of helplessness and betrayal, rejection, confusion, regret, hatred, humiliation, self-hatred, failure, alienation and loss of trust in others. In addition, physical illnesses of a psychosomatic nature found in these men include high blood pressure, ulcers, migraine headaches, impotence, panic attacks, violent behavior, substance abuse and relational instability. These repercussions often arise as a delayed reaction occurring about five years after abortion.

In fact studies have shown that men are more likely than women to blame themselves for a pregnancy and more likely to feel guilty. It has been a cultural "taboo" for men to vent these thoughts and the myriad of emotions that go along with an abortion experience.
