A robust, hybrid experience to give on-going support for fathers to strengthen relationships, improve economic stability, and help them be engaged and effective fathers in the post-COVID-19 world. - Healthy Relationships California will implement the FORGE FOR LIFE project, providing a 24-hour R3 Academy with evidence-informed curricula focused on parenting skills, communication, job search training, and financial literacy to fathers in five Southern California counties. The project will serve community fathers through both in-person and livestreaming workshops, with additional on-demand supplemental workshops for those completing 90% of the primary program. Participants will receive case management services and access to the Relationship Skills Network, an online platform with additional resources. Over the five-year project period, FORGE FOR LIFE will serve 1,075 individuals who complete at least 90% of the primary workshop hours, helping fathers strengthen relationships, improve economic stability, and become more engaged parents.
