Working With Men and Fathers: Building Skills for Practitioners

9AM-4PM Daily/1875 Eye Street, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20006
The Working with Fathers: Building Skills for Practitioners Workshop is a three-day certified training for practitioners working with fathers in community, faith-based, government and nonprofit settings. During the three day workshop, participants learn how to recruit fathers, conduct peer support groups, identify key stakeholders, and practice facilitating group sessions with fathers. The centerpiece of the Working with Fathers workshop is Fatherhood Development: A Curriculum for Young Fathers. The curriculum, which is evidenced based, has the distinction of being the only curriculum recommended and used in four national demonstration projects targeting fathers over the past 15 years.  They include the Young Unwed Fathers Pilot Project; Parents Fair Share; Partners for Fragile Families Site Demonstration; and the Fathers at Work Demonstration project. Fatherhood and fragile family practitioners have called the Fatherhood Development curriculum the “glue” that makes their programs work.
