Father365 integrates the three authorized activity areas of the FORGE initiative: (1)responsible parenting, (2) healthy marriage and relationships, and (3) economic stability. - The South Carolina Center for Fathers and Families will implement Father365, a comprehensive fatherhood program serving 1,850 fathers across nine South Carolina counties over five years. The project will deliver services through a 12-week cohort model using the evidence-informed Destination Fatherhood curriculum, which integrates responsible parenting, healthy marriage/relationships, and economic stability components. Each participant will develop a personalized One-Man Plan with individualized goals and receive intensive case management with at least eight service contacts. The program will host quarterly father-child activities, provide employment assistance through partnerships with workforce agencies, and offer mediation services to improve co-parenting relationships.
