Class Information
Class engagement will come through group sessions or one-on-one case management.
​
The group will meet one time per week for two hours for 8 consecutive weeks.
​
These two-hour classes will consist of one hour devoted to our evidence-based curriculum "ON MY SHOULDERS". The other hour will be devoted to fatherhood discussions.
Outside the Classroom
Outside the classroom, one-on-one engagements and case management services are offered. We will help fathers address specific needs that may be a barrier that prohibits them from being the father that they want to be.
