New Research on Parenting Programs for Low-Income Fathers

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This volume advances our understanding of what works-and might work-to increase the involvement of low income, nonresident fathers in children's lives. The studies it presents are a boon to the National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) and the thousands of organizations across the country that we partner with to start and maintain fatherhood programs. NFI disseminated the results of these and other studies funded by FRPN to our partners because they can use the results to improve their fatherhood programs."

Christopher Brown, MA, President National Fatherhood Initiative, USA

"This book is a must read! It gives us influential research addressing change in family life along with effective models to support parents' and children's needs.

"As a 30-year fatherhood program practitioner, I believe that Dr. Jessica Pearson and Dr. Jay Fagan have meticulously documented in this book essential lessons about how best to attain positive program outcomes for low-income dads.
