From Pain to Purpose: Navigating the Pressures of Fatherhood, Isolation and Loss with Adam Angel
On this episode of Transforming Trauma, Emily chats with Adam Angel, LCSW-C, LICSW, the founder of Dads With Wisdom, a series of virtual and hybrid groups that provide a welcoming environment where men can navigate the complex pressures of fatherhood.
Adam has 15+ years of experience and is uniquely qualified to facilitate conversations around paternal mental health. He suffered a perinatal loss on his journey to becoming a father of two. Emily and Adam discuss the current shortage of mental health resources available to fathers, traumas distinct to fatherhood, and how NARM strengthens the peer group dynamic.
Transforming Trauma is inspired by Adam’s commitment to community and ability to recast his pain into profound purpose. We welcome his example of strength in vulnerability.
