Would you like to apply what works for other fatherhood programs? Would you like to avoid reinventing the wheel? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then Best Practices in Fatherhood Programs™ is for you. This one-day course highlights the best practices in the fatherhood field organized into a seven-component best practice model. You will learn:
How your community-based setting affects the delivery of your program;
The key dimensions on which to assess fathers at intake and as they progress through your program;
How to match services and programs to meet the needs and wants of the fathers you serve
The most critical issues to address in a fatherhood program;
How to work with mothers to increase father involvement
Key strategies for recruiting and retaining dads, and for creating a positive image for your program in the community; and
How to build a productive support network for your fatherhood program.
And that’s not all. You will also learn about model policies and procedures for fatherhood programs, model fatherhood curricula, and more. Whether you work or want to work with teen dads, non-custodial dads, incarcerated dads, dads in a faith setting, or any other kind of dad, you will be able to apply what you learn.
Best Practices in Fatherhood Programs™ compliments NFI’s The Father Friendly Check-Up™. We recommend that you schedule these courses back-to-back – the check-up followed by best practices – to create a two-day training session.
