Healthy Start
Reasons to Join:
Studies suggest that parenting programs can improve the quality of father-child relationships. SHIFT Healthy Start Fatherhood Program accomplishes this in two ways. We work with fathers to increase their JOB READINESS AND EMPLOYABILITY, helping them identify and access resources in the community while giving them greater confidence and ability to support their children. Additionally, we equip fathers with PARENTING SKILLS to strengthen their children's development, such as the ability to make choices and solve problems, that help build a foundation for success later in life.
