The Nurturing Fathers
Program |
The Nurturing Father's Program (researched and
developed by Mark Perlman, MA), facilitated by
Ronald Shepard, MA, is structured to provide fathers
with experiences that allow them to better understand
themselves and their family members with clearer
insight and feelings around their parenting and
partnering roles. The program provides them with
the opportunity to change parenting attitudes
and behaviors that are more effective. Program
participants can choose to reshape and adopt new
nurturing behaviors that achieve the established
goals of their parenting values. The growth in
self-concept and self-esteem can lead to more
nurturing, rewarding relationships with their
children, spouses/co-parents, and other family
members. Therefore, The Nurturing Father's Program
is created on an experiential learning model,
which provides activities that stimulate thinking
and feeling in a supportive group atmosphere.
