For Programs
As a practitioner you are operating programs that help strengthen fathers and families. From dealing with the challenges faced by families to the challenges of implementing a successful and sustainable program, this section of Fatherhood.gov is especially for you.
Getting Started
No two programs will be the same. The dynamics of your organization and the father’s in your program will make every group and every session unique. There are, however, some tips, strategies, and research foundations that can ensure that your program is as effective at changing the lives for fathers and families as it can be. This section is a starting point for enhancing your program implementation.
For your Fathers
Each father has their own challenges. As a practitioner you may not know everything that is going on in the life of a family and your organization may not be equipped to fully deal with all these challenges, and that’s okay. You can be prepared with resources to help fathers connect with information and organizations that can address issues that may come up.
