Description

FatherTopics^™ Collection for Non-Custodial Dads consists of five separate 2-hour sessions your organization can run for non-custodial fathers to help them succeed as involved fathers. Your organization can offer 1, 2, 3, or more sessions in any number and combination. Your organization can also add any number of combination of them to any National Fatherhood Initiative^® (NFI) fatherhood programs or any other fatherhood program. 

The Collection covers some of the most critical issues faced by non-custodial fathers.

Resource background: 
In 2011, the City of New York's Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) contracted with NFI to create a version of 24/7 Dad^® that organizations in the city would use with non-custodial fathers. The resulting DYCD version of 24/7 Dad^® included new session content to provide information on some of the most critical issues faced by non-custodial fathers that don't directly address pro-fathering knowledge, attitudes, and skills.

Consequently, NFI decided to use that newly designed content to create FatherTopics^™ Collection for Non-Custodial Dads, so that facilitators and organizations across the county could provide these well-received sessions to non-custodial fathers wherever they reside, and regardless of location. The reaction to these field-tested sessions, from facilitators and non-custodial fathers in New York City, has been overwhelmingly positive.
