Fathers, like mothers, play a significant role in their children’s psychological and emotional development. When fathers are actively involved, children are less likely to experience:
- Mental illness
- Juvenile delinquency
- Youth sexual activity
- Teenage pregnancy
- Substance use
- Childhood poverty
- High school drop out
We Believe:
- Fathers are irreplaceable in the lives of their children
- There is a direct link between positive father involvement and child well-being
- Fathers contribute to their children’s safety and stability.
