The Fathering Project aims to improve child development outcomes by inspiring and equipping fathers and father figures to effectively engage with their kids. The Fathering Project delivers resources, programs and events specific to the engagement style and needs of dads and father-figures. Studies show that the cumulative effect of improved fathering can influence a number of positive outcomes across the board including:
Improved child development
Improved health outcomes
Improved school results
Improved functionality of at-risk families
We also discussed topics on Fathering Fundamentals and Fathering Facts, which can be found on the Fathering Projects website thefatheringproject.org. Should dads or father figures wish to join the Forest Crescent Dads group you can sign up on the website.
A dozen dads met our Dads Group Leader Todd Flematti to plan a Fathering Project Dads and Kids event.
Our first event will be a bush walk at Ellis Brook Gosnells on Sunday 23 August commencing at 2.30pm. More information will follow in Term 3.
