DAD-to-DAD
    Scottsdale AZ e-mail: karlo@aztec.asu.edu
    DAD-to-DAD is an organization for Dads who stay at-home with their children. DAD-to-DAD was founded by Curtis Cooper of Atlanta, Georgia in 1995. The group, first called "Mr. Mom", was started with only a few Dads in the surrounding Atlanta area. When Curtis first became an At-Home Dad, he tried joining groups of At-Home Moms in their playgroups. He was looking for a group that could help meet a certain need all of us Full-Time Dads have - support, networking and a playgroup for the kids. Despite his attempts to "fit-in", Curtis still felt something needed to be done to pull together other At-Home Dads. So, he formed "Mr. Mom". After some discussion about the name, it was unanimously decided to change the name of the organization to DAD-to-DAD. The organization has grown by leaps & bounds and has even gone international with chapters all over North America and in other countries as well.

Arizona Council on Compulsive Gambling, Inc. 
2922 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85013
    Gambling, for most people, is a recreational activity. However, for an estimated 2 to 4% of the general population, gambling results in an addiction. Compulsive gambling is a progressive disease, much like an addiction to alcohol or drugs. In many cases, the gambling addiction is hidden until the gambler cannot function without gambling, and he/she begins to exclude all other activities. Not all compulsive gamblers show the same signs and symptoms of addiction, there are differences in gender, age or cultural backgrounds, but most will:

    Use gambling as a coping strategy called Escape/Relief to mask underlying emotional pain.
    Rely on the excitement to make themselves feel good.
    Wager higher amounts to win back their losses.
    Believe that they can get out of debt with a big win.
    Hide their gambling from family and friends and lie about money.
    Find the financial problem becomes an emotional one.
    Eventually become emotionally, mentally and physically distressed.

Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement, engaged or recently married.

Pro Bono Programs:
    One way to find a lawyer to provide free legal representation in civil cases is by contacting a pro bono program -- also known as volunteer lawyer programs. Pro bono programs are operated by state, county or local bar associations; by legal services programs; by other agencies in the community or independently. They use local attorneys who have agreed to provide free legal representation to eligible persons referred by the pro bono program. There are tens of thousands of attorneys throughout the country who volunteer their services through these programs.
