DAD-to-DAD
Scottsdale AZ Email: 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.

(Attitude Adjustment for Child Custody Case Litigants)
Advice is usually given by people without the real information or life experience,
with the right intentions; but at the wrong time. With this book, you can take advice
when you want it and are ready to hear it! You can act on what you have learned,
mull it over or discard the advice altogether, without interference. This
book will not allow you to give the opposition power you might imagine -- but
that they do not really have -- or let you allow others to diminish the importance
you play in your children's lives. Divorce is never easy, but this will help.
This book has been called "Chicken Soup" for the Child Custody Case. It
will help a lot, and it certainly can't hurt. This book is 5½" x 9" and
has more than 1,700 entries. (800) 646-5590 or (936) 967-8970.

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.

United Church of Christ Marriage Encounter
Marriage Encounter, is a weekend away from home, family and responsibilities where in a comfortable, secluded environment a couple is guided in the discovery of new techniques of communicating and sharing with one another. It is not a retreat, but it is a program designed to give couples the opportunity to examine their lives together, their weaknesses and strong points, their attitudes toward each other and toward their families. Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.
Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together. 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. At no time will the couple be asked to share their private experiences with the group.
