24/7 DAD - Fatherhood Program

The HELP for KIDS program incorporates the 24/7 Dad® curriculum into all of our home-based programs, reflecting research that highlights the significant benefits associated with an involved father from the very beginning. A father's physical presence at birth not only increases the likelihood of a healthy newborn but also contributes to the health of the mother. On the other hand, the absence of the father can negatively impact the health of both the baby and the mother.

Over the past two decades, studies have emphasized the unique role fathers play in a child's emotional development. Fathers often provide exploration and play opportunities, which significantly aid a child's capacity for self-regulation and managing challenging situations throughout their life. While mothers are often the primary source of comfort during distress, it has been consistently proven that children thrive when both parents are actively engaged in their upbringing.
