PEORIA ( 25News Now ) - A new discussion series called ‘Men, Let’s Talk’ had its first session at Northwoods Mall’s THINK training center on Saturday.

This was the first of four events planned by the training center, covering men’s roles in society. The first session was themed around fatherhood, teaching men about the impact of absent fathers and ways to be a better parent.

Four panelists taught the audience about the rejection that children of absent parents can feel.

“They watch television, they watch media, and they see different images where people have fathers, and they may wonder, ‘How come I don’t have a father, what makes me feel different, what makes me look different?’ So, that’s why it’s important,” said Christopher McCall, a lawyer serving on the panel.
