1.1.1 The Patchwork Father Introduction

Welcome to the Patchwork Father. We are all a patchwork of pieces that comprise a whole as fathers — no perfection — just a process of becoming. These videos are intended to be a resource, not a prescription, so take what works and leave the rest. My name is Travis— I am a father and I am also a counselor. The Patchwork Father is a space for me to share some perspectives about fatherhood. You are welcome to explore these videos and also read through some essays or visit my website at the links below.
