Helping Men Be Better Fathers and Screening Movies for Those With Disabilities

July 21, 2024 ~ Research shows fathers play a vital role in the development of children, but some fathers never had a role model to learn the skills to be good fathers. Willie Bell is the founder and director of the Family Assistance for Men program, also known as FARM. Through a variety of programs including a ten-week mentoring class, FARM assists men to reestablish or strengthen relationships with their children. Services include relationship building, communication techniques, healthy lifestyles, and father and child relationship building.

Emagine Entertainment hosts a variety of specialty screenings for their guests who may have special needs. Each month, guests can watch some of the newest film releases with an enhanced experience, including open caption screenings that provide subtitles for those with hearing impairments. Sensory Friendly Screenings modify the theater atmosphere without modifying the film for those who experience sensory issues. Dementia Friendly screenings provide exclusively selected classic movies and musicals and encourage audience participation while providing guests with special door-to-door service. Emagine Theatre CEO Paul Glanz talks about the innovative new program.
