Fathers Care Program

What is Fathers Care?

Fathers Care is a project of the Teen Alliance for Prepared Parenting (TAPP). Presently we provide direct service and referrals to outside resources that promote personal growth and the importance of Fathers in the social, emotional, spiritual and moral development of their children. Our mission is to assist young Fathers with the development of healthy manhood, responsible fatherhood and family planning.

TAPP Fathers Care can you assist you with being a good Father

Our services include:
¨ Assessing your needs
¨ Peer support groups
¨ Parenting Workshops
¨ Physical Exams
¨ Workplace Preparation and Job Search
¨ HIV, STD Screening Referrals
¨ Paternity Counseling
¨ Structured Father-Child Time
¨ Individual and Couple Counseling

We seek to ensure that young men come to understand the importance of fatherhood, to value their role in parenting their children, and to see successful fatherhood as a primary goal in life.

We provide food and tokens at all workshops. We also provide recreational activities for Fathers as well as Fathers and their children.
