What Is New Pathways?

Welcome to New Pathways

New Pathways for Good Dads (NPGD) is designed to help a low-income dad make changes to be a good dad who is actively engaged with his children. The NPGD program includes the following:

Fatherhood Development
Stress & Anger Management
Job Assessment
Family Budgeting & Counseling
Relationship Skills Training

Advice for Dads with Past Legal Issues
Child Support Training
Individual, Group and Family Counseling
Father-to-Father Mentoring

The number and kinds of services a father receives depends on his needs. Some dads have child support concerns; some do not. Some are becoming new dads; others have been fathers for some time. Some are in a relationship with the mother of their child; others are going it alone. Each father will have an Individual Service Plan (ISP) designed to help him receive the maximum benefit from the NPGD program.

Welcome to New Pathways

When you choose a new path and invest in a new journey, NPGD also invests in you.

We want you to be the best dad you can be. Along the way we will recognize your progress in a number of different ways including:

Awards and recognition
Gift cards
Other tools good dads need

Overcoming Obstacles

Any new path or adventure is bound to have some obstacles along the way. NPGD has a number of ways to address concerns that might discourage a father's progress.

Depending on the site where classes are offered and the time of day, child care and food will be available. For those living in Greene County, some transportation assistance is available.

The bio-parent advocacy program at Council of churches provides free, dignified support for parents with Greene County Children's Division cases.

Good Dads is eager to support the bio-parent advocacy program!

The new pilot program provides services to parents in the Ozarks via one-on-one counseling and coaching, parenting and healthy relationships classes, support in FST meetings and court, and support groups. Download the informational brochure here.
