Focus on Fathers

Parenting NI launched The Men's Project (TMP) in September 1998.  In late 2009 the project became known as Focus on Fathers.  This work has a regional remit to work with organisations to extend their knowledge about engaging with fathers and to influence services to ensure fathers are included as equally as mothers.  Under this theme of work, parenting courses are facilitated which address the fathers' role in the family.
