General NRFC Information

The National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) supports the Administration for Children and Families' Office of Family Assistance's efforts to assist States and communities to support Promoting Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Marriage programs.
 
Primarily a tool for professionals operating Responsible Fatherhood programs, the NRFC provides access to print and electronic publications, timely information on fatherhood issues, and targeted resources that support Office of Family Assistance (OFA)-funded Promoting Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Marriage grantees.

The NRFC is a research and informational source, primarily regarding program implementation. While some information we provide may be useful to you personally, we are not capable of properly addressing concerns of a more personal nature and cannot make recommendations for therapists, practitioners, or programs. Many agencies dealing with parental issues are local and we do not have any comprehensive listing of these agencies.
 
Other local organizations, such as a local or State operated Fatherhood program may be of assistance in connecting you to these resources. To find a program near you visit our Find a Fatherhood Program map.
 
For information on Child Support Enforcement offices near you, and information on child support, custody, and visitation, visit our Dads – My Challenges section.

The NRFC’s Online Library serves as a central location to search for the publication collected by and provided through the NRFC. Some are available for free, others will direct you to the publisher to obtain copies. Publications listed on some pages are highlighted because of their timeliness and relevance to that section, but are also available in the Library, even after being removed from the page.
