Nurturing Programs

This program offers a unique approach to discipline that every man can relate to. We help fathers deal with their feelings, managing anger, resolving conflicts, engage in appropriate play, teach values, and be a role model. We discus the differences between fathering sons and fathering daughters, the influence of cultural perspectives, teamwork within the family, issues around work and fathering, and much more.

The Managing and Parenting Program (MA & PA)

MA & PA, as the program is affectionately called, focuses on strengthening the couple relationship (married or unmarried) through a shared exploration of parenting attitudes and skills. This 12-week curriculum utilizes some of the most effective approaches from The Nurturing Fathers Program to create a series of couple’s dialogues. With the addition of new relationship-building activities, spouses/partners learn more about themselves and each other, while creating a shared vision for family life. The weekly group experimental activities and the Home Activities in the MA & PA Journal help each couple to develop the attitudes and skills for successful family formation.
