Increased self Sufficiency
Engaging fathers in human services programs can help improve economic opportunity and well-being for fathers, children, and families. Many human services programs have historically been targeted more toward mothers therefore neglecting the under-served men and fathers. Both the financial and parenting contributions of both mothers and fathers are equally important in their children’s lives. This leads to self-sufficiency.
