Dr. Bill Doherty is a local expert who has been at the forefront of championing for strong families and communities.
In today’s media-driven world, children are surrounded by messages telling them what to believe about sexuality, love, relationships, and body image. Are they learning more about these important subjects from anonymous sources rather than from the caring adults in their lives?
When do these outside influences start to take hold in children’s minds?
What can we do if our family’s values are not the same as the mainstream media’s messages?
Bill Doherty has written several books on parenting and marriage. His ongoing work with Putting Family First champions strong families and strong parenting skills.
