The National Fatherhood Initiative's 24/7 Dad Program

Fathers make a unique and invaluable contribution to the well being of children. A father's interaction with his children promotes healthy physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual development. Most fathers want to be the best father that they can be. But all too often, men grow up without a healthy role model of a father. Consequently, many fathers have the desire, but not the knowledge or skills, to be a great dad.

24/7 Dad™ is a unique, comprehensive set of fatherhood programs developed by a team of nationally and internationally recognized fathering and parenting experts and with input from fatherhood practitioners.

When a father completes either program, he becomes a 24/7 Dad who:

He is in touch with his moods and feelings/emotions, his capabilities, his strengths, and his limitations.

Is a man who takes care of himself. He gets annual physicals, eats the proper foods, exercises to stay in shape, has a strong spiritual connection with his community, and chooses friends who reinforce his healthy choices.

Is very aware of the significant role he has in the family. He is a positive role model. He capitalizes on his knowledge of the unique contributions (e.g., skills) he brings and that his wife/the mother of his children brings to raising his children (i.e., the difference between "fathering" and "mothering").

Is a nurturing parent who clearly understands and accepts the importance his parenting skills have in developing the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual and creative needs of his children.

Works to build and maintain healthy and supportive relationships with his children, wife, family, friends, and community.
