We believe it is critical to reach these men for two reasons—1, they are a huge part of helping a woman make a pregnancy decision, and 2—they are an even bigger part of bringing that child into the world into a healthy home environment.

In 2016, we began establishing an arm of our ministry focused on engaging and equipping fathers. The Fathers First initiative is a targeted approach to reaching men by inviting them to group sessions where they can learn about a dad-friendly topic—taught by our full-time male coordinator.

Certified Dad’s in-person sessions are held weekly and are a great opportunity to build community with men in all seasons of fatherhood. Topics discussed include the father’s role and influence, taking care of your child and family, and other practical life skills.

We also offer two self-paced, online courses called Doctor Dad and Healthy Dad (PLEASE ITALICIZE). Both courses help new and expectant fathers set goals and go the distance in fatherhood. Sessions include topics such as infant-toddler safety, healthy relationships, being a working dad, and communication.

All clients participating in Fathers First sessions and/or courses on a regular basis have the opportunity to earn items such as car seats, pack ‘n plays, family zoo memberships, and baby carriers.
