Fathering Project Term 3
2024-09-15 07:45 - 12:00
Our Fathering Project event for Term 3 is a Dads and Kids event. Come and join us for a picturesque walk along the Ellis Brook Valley trail on Sunday, September 15, followed by a sausage sizzle breakfast.
RSVP to Jeff at FCPSthefatheringproject@gmail.com or contact the school on 9232 3550. We would love to see you.
At the Fathering Project, we recognise that fathers and father figures play a vital role in children’s lives. The evidence demonstrating fathers’ potential to positively influence their children’s health and mental health, social success and academic achievements is now robust, indisputable, and compelling. Absent, disengaged, ill-equipped or busy fathers are a significant social issue damaging the lives of Australian children and young people. We’re living through rapid social change, where community views of fatherhood are actively changing. Many fathers and father figures are struggling to fulfil the joys, challenges and responsibilities of being an engaged dad.
The Fathering Project is an evidence-based organisation that promotes positive fathering behaviours and fathers’ engagement with their infants, preschool, primary school and adolescent-aged children. If you want more information, don’t hesitate to contact Jeff at FCPSthefatheringproject@gmail.com or log into the Fathering Project website at www.thefatheringproject.org to join our Forest Crescent Dads group.
