To
assist and support through fellowship and action the fathers and families
of individuals with Down syndrome.
Our
mission is simple and the way we accomplish our mission is as varied as
our members, but D.A.D.S. Chapters stay true to our goals:
-
To create a network of fathers willing to develop a
program based on the needs of the men involved
-
To enhance a fathers knowledge and resources about
children and individuals with Down syndrome
-
To enhance personal advocacy skills
-
To heighten a family's ability in coping with the
unique challenges of raising a child with Down syndrome
-
To provide a safe atmosphere of support where men
can openly share
-
To enhance a man's inherent nurturing and care
taking skills
-
To have fun and to build camaraderie and friendships
among fathers and families of children with Down syndrome
Working
toward our goals, each of us contributes in our own way, and each of us
gets far more than we give.
