Services for Men

Dad2Dad is what we call our fathering program. It is a one-on-one coaching experience in which a seasoned dad is paired with a new or soon-to-be dad. We provide a personal coach for our dads and provide tools for being a better father. This is what Dad2Dad is all about!

​

The Need
Children need fathers. Fathers need role models. Many men grow up without a father in the home and then feel lost and ill-equipped to parent effectively when they become dads themselves. They need confidence and skills to break the cycle of fatherlessness and become the dads their child needs, 24/7

 

The Solution
Dad2Dad offers a proven curriculum that a dad and coach go through together at their own pace. “24/7 Dad”, developed by the National Fatherhood Initiative, teaches basic fathering skills such as being fair and loving, having fun, maintaining a healthy work/play balance, and developing character (both in the child and in the dad). Exploring relationships and how to strengthen the bond between the dad and mom are also covered.
