Focus on Fathers
A PHMC Affiliate Program
Focus on Fathers (FOF) is a program that helps fathers ages 18 years and older to develop and maintain healthy relationships with their children. The program aims to strengthen positive father-child engagement and improve employment and economic opportunities for young fathers. Since 2001, FOF has served more than 250 individuals annually, including fathers, stepfathers, other male caregivers, couples and co-parents; in 2024, the program served 380 individuals.
FOF provides opportunities for men to gain parenting and child development knowledge through group education sessions held in community locations throughout Philadelphia. Our courses are facilitated by fathers with extensive experience helping men overcome barriers to maintaining positive involvement in their children’s lives. FOF also offers education and guidance to strengthen relationships with the co-parent, children and families and provides a formal job training course on job readiness education and job search support.
Focus on Fathers is a program of Health Promotion Council of Southeastern Pennsylvania Inc. (HPC).
