HS Fatherhood OK

Community Service Council's Healthy Start Fatherhood Program

is committed to strengthening father-child relationships through increasing men’s involvement in the lives of their children and families. We promote this philosophy by linking fathers and father figures to resources and services that can strengthen their role as an involved father.

Our program is convenient and flexible. We work around employment and family schedules, providing a quality service Monday through Saturday that fits in with each individual's needs, activities and plans.

I pledge to honor, support and respect my child's mother throughout her pregnancy and beyond. No matter how hard times get, I pledge to never use violence of any form in my relationships. I pledge to discipline with love, be a role model, and teach my children their value and self-worth. I pledge to provide for my children and family spiritually, emotionally and finacially. I pledge to love my children and family unconditionally.

Reasons to Join

Studies suggest that parenting programs can improve the quality of father-child relationships. CSC's Healthy Start Fatherhood Program accomplishes this in two ways. We work with fathers to increase their JOB READINESS AND EMPLOYABILITY, helping them identify and access resources in the community while giving them greater confidence and ability to support their children. Additionally, we equip fathers with PARENTING SKILLS to strengthen their children's development, such as the ability to make choices and solve problems, that help build a foundation for success later in life.

Activities

We sponsor several family-focused activities every three months for participants, including Men's Health & Wellness Expo, A Day at the Zoo, Healthy Start: A Family Affair, Bridges out of Poverty, Baby Buggy Walk in the Park, and more.

Services

We help fathers and father figures access the following resources and services to give them the knowledge and skills to be strong role models in their children’s lives.
