24:7 Dad Program Begins

September 18 @ 5:30 pm EDT

Once again, The Keweenaw Family Resource Center will host a 12-session workshop this fall that will give fathers and father figures the parenting, relationship, and communication skills, as well as support they need to be involved, responsible, and committed fathers. The program is called 24:7 Dad.

According to a national survey of Dad’s attitudes on fathering, only 54% of first-time fathers felt adequately prepared for fatherhood, and 57% of fathers felt they could be replaced as a father by any other man.

The program is open to all fathers and father figures, and will be held on Wednesday evenings beginning at 5:30pm on September 18th at the KFRC Offices at Trinity Episcopal Church, 205 East Montezuma, Houghton, MI. There is no cost to attend the program and includes a light meal, and childcare is available if needed. If transportation assistance is needed please ask. To register, call Kevin at (906) 482-9363.

Developed by fathering and parenting experts, 24:7 Dad® is the most widely-used evidence-based program designed specifically for fathers. It focuses on the characteristics that men need to be involved fathers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This community-based program helps men develop the attitudes, knowledge, and skills they need to get—and stay—involved with their children. 24:7 Dad® focuses on key fathering characteristics—like masculinity, discipline, and work/family balance—and helps men evaluate their own parenting skills, as well as their role as a role model. 

Involved fathers play a critical role in the life of their children. Children with involved fathers are more likely to experience a host of healthier childhood outcomes including: less emotional and behavioral challenges, better school performance, and stronger parent child relationships among others.
