Fathers matter. From their role in prenatal care, to how they play, communicate and act as role-models for their kids, loving, engaged dads have been shown to have profound and wide-ranging impacts on children that last a lifetime. Yet, they are often ignored, especially those in traditionally underserved populations.
Our mission is to improve the well-being of children by empowering fathers to be knowledgeable, active, and emotionally engaged with their children.
The Fatherhood Project is making a difference in families’ lives. Below, Rachid and his wife discuss how our Dads Matter program changed Rachid’s relationship with their two-year-old son.
Here, a man from our Dads in Recovery program shares the overwhelming impact the program had on him as a father.
In order to continue empowering families, we need your help! We’ve been given a challenge to raise $40,000 by January 1st. When we reach our goal of $40,000 it will be matched 100%!
TFP is active in schools, pediatric and obstetric settings, inner-city neighborhoods, and now in substance use treatment centers and with divorcing dads. We just completed the largest study of fathers in prenatal care in the U.S., and we continue to be asked to present around the country: Richmond, Washington DC, Tulsa, Denver, and Chicago this year alone.
Please donate today. The Fatherhood Project and the children and families we serve greatly appreciate your generosity.
