Fathers Advancing Meaningful Identity, Leadership & Youth

Fatherhood learning designed around family connection.

FAMILY welcomes adult expectant, resident, nonresident, married, single, separated, returning, and otherwise disengaged fathers. Planned activities include peer discussion, fatherhood education, personal action planning, and resource navigation. These goals describe work under development, not demonstrated program outcomes.

Self-paced support

Short original or permission-cleared audio, video, printable reflections, and action plans.

Resource navigation

Brief nonclinical check-ins and referral information within defined boundaries.

Two planned pathways

Separate purposes. Separate regulatory questions.

Neither pathway is currently accepting applications or participants.
