24/7 Dad® is an evidence-based fatherhood program used by hundreds of organizations across the nation to improve the knowledge, behavior, and skills of dads of all races, religions, and demographics. The program is built on the basis that fathers can be nurturers, and for men, nurturing is a learned skill. Throughout the program, men examine their own fatherhood history, learn the 5 characteristics of a 24/7 Dad®, and other important behaviors such as working with mom and proper child discipline to help them be the best dads they can be. Now in it's Third Edition, 24/7 Dad® has been enhanced to meet requests and suggestions made by facilitators in the field. Research-based additions such as the "My 24/7 Dad Checklist", videos to enhance and add variety to the delivery of the program, father-attendee materials now provided in Spanish, and reference cards in the fathering handbooks bring this program to the next level. To access everything about the program in one document, download our handy "Pitch Kit" here. Learn the differences between 24/7 Dad® A.M. and 24/7 Dad® P.M. here. |

What is the difference between 24/7 Dad® A.M. and P.M.?
Both versions use the same philosophy, background, and structure. The difference lies in the topics that are covered in each version. 24/7 Dad® A.M. covers basic fathering skills and topics while 24/7 Dad® P.M. covers deeper fathering skills and topics.
Most organizations choose to run A.M. first followed by P.M. Or, if your fathers have been through a different fatherhood program that provided basic, fathering information, you may choose to run P.M. as the next step in their fathering journey.
