Good Dads 2.0 Facilitator Training

The next training opportunity for Good Dads 2.0 will take place May 22–24 in Springfield, MO. This training event is intended to help those who want to be more effective in their work with at-risk fathers (i.e. fathers with a child support problems, histories of poverty, incarceration and/or substance use). 

Successful facilitators may be mental health professionals, members of the faith community, members of the recovery community, retired professionals who want to give back to the community, or anyone passionate about helping at-risk fathers overcome the barriers they may face.

Good Dads 2.0 provides up-to-date information and research on recruiting and engaging at-risk fathers, and it addresses common issues they face (e.g. parenting as a single father, stress and anger management, child support issues). Good Dads 2.0 also includes strategies for helping fathers reconnect and engage with their children. 

Participants in the Good Dads 2.0 training will be trained in facilitating fatherhood groups using the Curriculum. Included in registration is 1 Facilitator Binder, 1 flash drive and 1 set of Participant Guides.

Good Dads 2.0 includes the best evidence-based approaches that primarily target minority fathers living in an urban setting and adapts them to a more diverse group of fathers living in small and mid-size cities in the Midwest. It is based on the accumulated experience of Good Dads facilitators serving hundreds of fathers from 2018–2022. It may not be as suitable for minority fathers in an urban setting.

Registration for the Good Dads 2.0 Facilitator Training will open this fall. If you have any questions about registration, call us at our main offices at 417-501-8867 or email Director of Curriculum and Education Rhonda Andersen at Rhonda@gooddads.com.
