Fatherhood Resources

Fathers play a vital role in their child’s healthy development. They foster confidence and success socially, emotionally and academically. Engaged fathers not only benefit their children but also enrich their own lives through close relationships.

These government websites offer guidance, tips and activities that can help fathers be present and supportive at every stage of their child’s growth.

Fatherhood.gov is a website of the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse. It provides resources for fathers and practitioners, including videos, the DadTalk Blog, activities for fathers and kids and a lookup tool for fatherhood programs across the U.S.

The Engaging Fathers and Male Caregivers section on Headstart.gov provides valuable resources for those supporting fathers of young children.
