LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. — If you are a new parent, or your new year has fatherhood on the horizon, there is a program in Loudoun County offering a helping hand to dads.
Loudoun County sponsors a program from the National Fatherhood Initiative called 24/7 Dad. The goal is to make stronger dads and strengthen families by effectively engaging fathers and involving them in decision making and service planning for their children.
The 24/7 Dad program is a 12-week curriculum that covers the key concepts of self-awareness, self-care, fathering and parenting skills and relationship skills. Participants meet as a group, once a week, for 12 weeks. Each meeting is two hours.
Virtual meetings for the next 24/7 Dad program begin Jan. 10.
Weekly topics include men’s health, communication, discipline, getting involved, working with mom, co-parenting, dads and work and children’s growth and development.
