How does it work?

Our goal is to help dads learn the skills they need to help their kids be happy and healthy. The program is for dads who are about to have a baby or dads who have kids up to five years old.

A TEAM Dad Fatherhood Educator meets with you for 12 sessions, at a time and place that works well for you. The lessons are based on research that shows what works best for dads.
