Why Create Fatherhood Programs for Young Parents in America?

When you look at how the structure of the American family has evolved over the last few decades, we see a picture of relentless shape shifting in intimate relationships. The notion of “family” and “home life” continues to transform especially when childhood traumas and challenges impact its development. There are a wide range of types of family set ups that are vastly different to the “old-fashioned” family of two parents living together with their children. This “ideal” seems totally out of reach for many parents in 2017.

Unmarried Parents

In the US our married, divorced and remarrying statistics are the highest compared to any other developed country. There are also many more unmarried mothers with a massive 41% of children now coming into this world out of wedlock. When we look at the ever-widening gap in income and opportunity we see that 57% with high school diplomas or less are unmarried when they give birth for the first time.

Challenges for Young Fathers

Fathers & Families Coalition of America has trained well over 18,000 individuals regarding the impact of fathers on children, families and communities since 2000. We have trained in the thousands to expand their skills as practitioners. Twenty-years ago, the vision to work with fathers started from a collaborative model designed in Arizona that has grown to help others increase globally. Now, we will work with others that are leaders in the field working with fathers as well as those we have worked with training life coaches. The core of our future Fatherhood Life Coach is going to be centered high standards for practitioners who will elevate as coaches.
