| Preparing for Father's Day |
|
Even as we celebrate the moms in our lives this May, fatherhood programs are looking ahead to Father's Day as well! This year, the NRFC is here to help with a recently released
Responsible Fatherhood Campaign Toolkit, featuring
all new PSAs that programs can access and download for their own use.
If you missed the NRFC's April webinar highlighting these resources, you can now watch the recording and find all related materials

New Research Brief from the Fatherhood Research & Practice Network on Program Attendance
This brief looks at attendance in community-based fatherhood programs and attempts to address the problem of low attendance for low-income fathers. The authors review approaches to measuring attendance, influences on attendance, and the effects of attendance on father's outcomes. Read the brief
here.
Toolkit Spotlight: Coparenting
By providing services to help fathers communicate openly in healthy, cooperative parenting relationships, programs can improve potential outcomes for children, irrespective of their parents' living arrangements. Find out more about how to help dads effectively coparent in the Responsible Fatherhood Toolkit.
