Building Communities And Supporting Families by Supporting Active Involved Fatherhood

Research has shown that the positive involvement of fathers is a key factor in the healthy development of children. However, personal, social and economic factors not only determine the health of fathers and their children, but influence their regular interactions with their families and community supports, in addition to the positive contributions they make to their communities.

The Fatherhood Initiative is dedicated to supporting children, families and communities by providing interactive parenting programs, resources, mentoring services and advocacy supports to fathers who often feel marginalized and unsupported. Our approach to supporting families is to educate, empower and inspire men from various walks of life to develop a lens of personal awareness, empathy, respect and care as engaged and involved fathers.
