SHREVEPORT, La. - A local group is making sure fathers and father figures have a place to talk about the real challenges of parenting. Fathers On A Mission, known as FOAM, is calling on dads to join their monthly Fatherhood Meeting, which happens every second Tuesday of the month.

The group focuses on creating a space where men can openly discuss their roles, struggles, and successes as parents. Organizers say the meetings are not just about giving advice but about building a support network for men who often feel left out of the conversation around raising children. The sessions cover everything from discipline and communication to balancing work and family life.

FOAM aims to strengthen families by empowering fathers to be more present and engaged. The meetings are open to all fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and any male figure playing a key role in a child's life. The goal is to break the isolation many men feel and replace it with a sense of community and shared purpose.

Anyone interested in attending can find the group for details on the next meeting location and time. The message is simple: fathers matter, and their voices need to be heard.
