A much-needed support network has been launched for fathers of children with special needs.

Special Dads has been set up by Martin Kander, whose son, Eitan, is at Kisharon Day School. He said: “Men do not necessarily want to talk about the challenges they face, but going to Special Dads will be an opportunity to spend time with people who can relate to their stresses, and to have time out for a few hours.”

The first event is a BBQ on Sunday, 29 June. For more information, email: martinkander@gmail.com
