Eisner Health Fatherhood Program
The presence of a nurturing and attentive father has a profound impact on the health and well-being of a child. But, becoming a responsible father is not easy, especially if you did not have a positive male role model growing up.
This is why we’ve created The Eisner Health Fatherhood Program. It is a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL 12-week program for fathers, stepfathers, relative caregivers and foster parents of children of any age. During this class, you will meet other dads, learn different parenting techniques, and learn how to communicate and play with your children. You will also have access to community resources for both you and your kids.
There is a new session in English or Spanish starting every three months.
Program description

At the end of the course, each participant will receive a certificate of completion for participation and $50.00 gift card.
