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.
We are thrilled to announce the 2025 NOVA Regional Fatherhood Workshop Series. This series offers free online workshops every Tuesday afternoon in June to support fathers and father figures. Join us to learn, grow, and celebrate fatherhood. 
It's a fact — fathers are important to their children. Their positive involvement contributes to child safety and well-being. Dads Parenting Groups focus on self-awareness, self-care, parenting skills and relationship skills.
