Responsible Fatherhood Program
The Responsible Fatherhood Program was developed to assist participants who want to resume or take on a role as a responsible parent. The voluntary program provides:
• A Child Support Advocacy Unit to help fathers navigate the child support system. The trained and experienced staff assists fathers in acknowledging paternity and preparing and filing petitions to modify child support orders to reflect current earnings. Staff members are also available to accompany fathers to child support hearings.
• Responsible Fatherhood Classes to teach parenting skills, child development, effective discipline, and communication in a group session.
• Workshops including financial management and budgeting, health, sexuality, and information on visitation and custody issues.
