Welcome to The Den

What members are saying.....

“I am part of this group and the encouragement and resources that I have received and been able to give are incredibly helpful on this journey of caregiving. Please join us, you will love it.” Maurice-father to a young adult with Autism

 “When I was first offered the chance to join a men's support group at my former job, I laughed it off… I realized that as much as we wanted to create a place for others, I needed what the camaraderie provides just as much as anybody else.” Shawn, co-founder & father to a young adult with Autism  

“The Den has provided a safe space for me to hang out with other autism dads… I always leave The Den feeling encouraged, inspired, and refreshed.” Kaeo-Father to a teenager with Autism 

Society rarely encourages men to express their emotions—especially those of us carrying the weight of caregiving.The Den was created to change that. It’s a safe, judgment-free zone where you can share ideas, hopes, joys, fears, and dreams with others who truly understand. 

When We Meet We gather online every other Tuesday at 4:30 PM Pacific Time for one hour of connection, reflection, and support.
