In a world where parenting resources have predominantly catered to mothers, Fathers Matter presents a groundbreaking study that delves into the unique experiences of fathers navigating the responsibilities of fatherhood. This study sheds light on the journey of fathers and also offers recommendations to enhance fatherhood services and promote a more inclusive and supportive environment for all fathers.
Fathers Matter conducted a Rapid Ethnographic Assessment of Programs and Services (REAPS)
for fathers in the New Orleans metro area. The goal of the REAPS was to gather data that helps identify the most effective way possible to mobilize the community around fatherhood.
The FLAME Fatherhood Conference is a collaborative event where we will explore why dads’ involvement matters so much, where there are opportunities to improve father supports in the New Orleans Metro Area, and how local goovernment officials, community organizations, and fatherhood advocates can help fathers become greater dads.
