June is Men’s Health Month with the purpose to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. On June 8th I was joined in-studio at KPFA (94.1FM) by two wonderful men to discuss Fathers, Kids, and Health.
There are many ways fathers can be good role models for their children, especially when they spend time together.
