New babies don’t come with owners’ manuals. For first time dads, FFVA offers this virtual class to give men the confidence they need to be a great parent and support mom. Our participants get unedited, “real talk” info straight from experienced dads. In this class, there is no such thing as a dumb question and we still don’t have all the answers. However, once they are done, they are ready to start the greatest journey of all, fatherhood.
This program is for incarcerated fathers and works to bridge the gap between the inmate father and his children. We’ve build this as a partnership effort with counties in Virginia, prisons and rehabilitation organizations to form a multifaceted approach to make a real impact connecting dads with their families and children to keep the relationships strong.
This program is for all fathers and provides dads with skills, wherever they are, to be the best dad and co-parent for their children. Whether in person or virtual, this class explores the relationship with one’s self, with their children, and their mom. In doing so, men gain valuable insight on how to move forward and be the dad his family needs him to be.
