Fathers Are Important: Safe Babies Healthy Families
Be a speaker once a month at our childbirth education classes. These classes are for young parents who would not feel comfortable in a traditional childbirth education class. The young dads that participate would learn the value of dad being involved with his new baby and the benefits for the baby with having a positive father in his/her life. An orientation and materials would be available prior to doing the first group.
