Involved fathers are important to their child's health and well-being. But, how can dads learn to care for basic health and safety needs of their children? Using the innovative Doctor Dad™ program, you can have a positive impact in your community and play a key role in teaching dads how to care for their children.
Doctor Dad™ is a groundbreaking workshop that enhances a father's parenting skills in caring for the health and safety of his infant or toddler. Fathers learn how to use basic medical knowledge to provide compassionate care, enabling them to handle the majority of medical situations that may arise as their children grow. Certified healthcare professionals, health educators, or other qualified persons teach this interactive workshop in four sessions, each lasting two to three hours.
Doctor Dad™ delivers an interactive, structured learning experience. The workshop sessions include: 1) The Well Child; 2) The Sick Child; 3) The Injured Child; and 4) The Safe Child. In addition to the content of the workshop, the curriculum includes learning objectives and outcome-measurement tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the workshop.
Upon completion of this special workshop, each father gains:
- The ability to respond to the immediate needs of his child
- The ability to quickly and confidently respond to a medical emergency
- The ability to know when to seek professional medical assistance for his child
- The knowledge that he can have a positive impact on the daily life of his child
- An appreciation of the father-child bond
- Enhanced parenting skills
Perhaps the most important benefit of Doctor Dad™ is that it empowers fathers to become actively involved in their child's healthcare, thereby enabling the child to flourish and set a course for a healthy future.
