1) Trauma-Informed Care for Fathers Webinar Training:
Thursday, Nov. 17, 1 pm - 5 pm EST
Having a trauma-informed lens in father engagement is helpful and applicable.
In this course, participants will learn how to identify various responses to stress; recognize reactions to trauma triggers; understand how to develop and support resilience, and identify ways of interacting with and helping trauma survivors.
2) Domestic Violence Awareness Month: Related NFI Resources
According to Prevent Child Abuse America, domestic violence affects as many as 10 million children annually, and worse, 41 percent of those children are simultaneously experiencing child abuse. Domestic violence and child abuse share the same risk and protective factors. Many studies have shown the devastating effects on children caused by intimate partner violence (IPV) and child abuse within the same household.
That's why we offer two important brochures focused on these matters:
- "12 Things to Know & Learn About Domestic Violence" helps fathers understand domestic violence and its effect on children and families.
- "12 Ways To Create a Peaceful Home" helps dads create a loving, caring environment where children can thrive.
Just $23.99 each in a 50-pack, available in English and Spanish. Be sure to have these brochures in your father engagement toolbox! Click an image below to purchase.
3) New! FREE Father-Child Activities Guides for Practitioners
When fathers are involved in their children’s lives, it helps their children’s healthy development.
That's why we created a NEW FREE guide titled "Helping Children Grow Through Fun Dad-Child Activities" for you to use with the dads you serve. It was developed by Dr. John Holmberg (and students in the Graduate School of Professional Psychology) at the University of Denver in partnership with NFI.

The guide's purpose is to help dads make the most of their quality time with their children through fun things to do that build togetherness between dads and their children.
