• Types of Maltreatment: Does not target any specific kind of maltreatment
• Target Population: Fathers, significant others, and at-risk children.

Project Fatherhood has fathers meet in a group setting. There the fathers discuss day-to-day issues involved with parenting their children. The members of the group can only relate to each other in a positive supportive manner. A children’s group and a significant others’ group also meet and do activities at the same time as the fathers’ group.

The goal of Project Fatherhood is to help fathers parent their children in a manner that helps them develop a trusting supportive relationship.
