Who Is My Father? MSHS
Where is my father, and why did he leave? Teens ask this too.
Paternal absence doesn't stop mattering after childhood — for many teens, it gets more complicated, not less. Who Is My Father? (MSHS) gives you a complete, ready-to-facilitate session built specifically for the way teenagers process absence, identity, and the ache of not knowing where a father figure is or why he isn't there.
