The
Responsible Fatherhood Curriculum is intended to assist
fathers in more effectively fulfilling their roles as parents,
partners, and workers. It was developed over a number of years'
use in the peer support groups that were the "glue"
of the Parents'
Fair Share Demonstration for low-income noncustodial fathers.
Anyone operating a program for fathers -- or even for mothers
-- will find the curriculum a rich source of useful, down-to-earth
material organized into 20 sessions on dealing with issues
such as male-female relationships, fathers as providers, managing
conflict and anger (on and off the job), and race and racism.
The
curriculum materials are contained in 21 files in PDF format,
each containing the material for one session of the curriculum.
Use the links in the Contents section below to access the
session files. Each session has bookmarks to specific activities
within the session that can be accessed using the "show
navigation pane" option on the Acrobat Reader toolbar.
If you don't already have the free Acrobat Reader you can
