Detailed Information
-
The Alameda County Fathers Corps is a county-wide team of male service providers-in-training, working to help strengthen families by helping men be the best fathers they can be. Our goal is that every father is fully engaged and supportive of their children and that agencies and organizations in Alameda County be fully prepared to help them succeed. The Fathers Corps guides providers in building on the five protective factors of the Strengthening Families Framework to reduece risks and create optimal outcomes for children and families.
- The Father-Friendly Provider Network (FFPN) was established in 2018 to provide training to all providers interested in building their capacity to more effectively engage and support fathers and father-figures. In addition to providing capacity building opportunities, the FFPN supports FFPN participants with the implementation of the Father-Friendly-Principles at their home agencies.
Father Friendly Provider Network trainings take place on the 3rd Friday every month starting September 2023 - May 2024; 11:00 am - 1:00 pm (New Schedule click HERE)
- Dad-scussions is an ongoing virtual series that provides opportunities for Fathers to discuss current topics that matter to them. Click here to view the 2020 Dad-scussions Recap video.
