13 week support group meets Thursdays, 6-8pm in Wellsville
From ACCORD,
Fatherhood isn’t a solo journey—it takes a village. We want to help men build a team of other parenting men they can turn to when they need help, have a question or just need a listening ear. Fatherhood Connection, in partnership with ACCORD, is launching a 13-week support group for fathers and father figures starting October 9, 2025.
Thursdays | 6–8 PM | Online or In-Person at First Step Family Resource Center, 83 North Main Street, Wellsville, NY.
Led by certified facilitators David Filkins and Bob Starks, this weekly group offers a safe space to connect, learn, and grow as a parent and individual.
Topics include:
- Child development & parenting
- Communication & healthy relationships
- Blended families, values, and more

Whether you’re a dad, stepdad, or soon-to-be father, you can join anytime during the 13-week session. Your partner is welcome to attend with you as well!
