Healthy Fathering Collaborative

The Healthy Fathering Collaborative is comprehensive system of social and health services for fathers. Services are provided over the lifespan of fatherhood, beginning with young men who are not yet fathers, through all the stages of fatherhood, and into fathering in the community by grandfathers, male mentors and father figures. The Healthy Fathering Collaborative model can be replicated in any community dedicate to engaging and including fathers in the lives of their children. The Healthy Fathering Collaborative model has been successfully implemented in Greater Cleveland, Ohio by a network of public, grassroots, community-based and faith-based agencies. The Healthy Fathering Collaborative model supports and encourages fathers to develop their assets as nurturers, caregivers and providers of their children. The HFC is a leader in the Asset-Based Fatherhood Movement.
