What is the Fatherhood Program?
The Fatherhood Program is a FREE in person or online program for fathers and partners that follows the Fathering in 15™ curriculum. The Fatherhood Program offers opportunities to engage in conversations and activities to enhance parenting skills and establish healthy behaviors that can improve family relationships.
How it Works
Fathering in 15™ offers topics related to being a father and partner. Each session is intended to be completed in 15 minutes. Participants go through each session at their own pace, with the help of the Fatherhood Coordinator. Topics include:
- Goal setting
- Family history
- Fathering skills
- Child Development
- Managing Money
- And more!
