Program Implementation

No two programs will be the same. The dynamics of your organization and the father’s in your program will make every group and every session unique. There are, however, some tips, strategies, and research foundations that can ensure that your program is as effective at changing the lives for fathers and families as it can be. This section is a starting point for enhancing your program implementation.

 From designing a program, to deciding who to work with, to evaluating if you are really changing the behaviors of the father in your program, program implementation is an ongoing process. Not only will the technical components of a program need to be considered, but staff development, establishing protocols for dealing with the many issues families face, and knowing where your services end and another agencies begin are all critical components. Use the resources throughout the Practitioners section to help you help dads.
