Shawn & Maurice discuss Caregiving from not only a man's perspective, but that of a black father & what that means in today's society, how it differs from other cultural perspectives & most important, the things that we all have in common.

Being a caregiver is one of the most demanding roles a man can take on. The Den is a support group created to provide male caregivers with a place to vent, find resources, and build community with others in the same boat.

If you’re looking for a group of men who lead with empathy and shared strength, we’d love to hear from you.
