Despite these findings that show the importance of involving fathers early in their children’s lives, fathers report receiving limited support from social services and early childhood programs. Head Start has created a resource to try to do something about that. The Head Start Father Engagement Birth to Five Programming Guide, which was released in 2013, is designed to help programs move towards “systemic, integrated, and comprehensive father engagement.” As Jones explained in his talk, as well as in this webinar, the guide encourages programs to examine how well they are engaging fathers and to think about how everyone in the program can work to ensure father-friendly environments. Programs are encouraged to host support groups for young fathers and engage them in developing their own skills and in achieving their personal goals, such as the desire to advance their own education to improve their employment.
