This week’s for the Dads Doing It Right series I wanted to share with you some dads who have created communities or groups that are there to help out other dads.

RGV Dads – Networking to Help Out Other Dads

RGV Dads is short for Rio Grande Valley Dads. They are creating opportunities for fathers in the Rio Grande Valley. The RGV Dads group does this by setting up a network through meetups, blogs, and sharing information about fatherhood. They even have video meet ups to create a strong community of dads. This helps dads out by being there for other guys. Make sure you follow them on their Facebook page. 

Center for Urban Families – Caring For All Dads 

Since their founding in 1999, Center for Urban Families looks to address some of the most pressing issues. These issues include poverty, unemployment, father-absence, and family disintegration. They maintain an unwavering focus on addressing the key challenges of Baltimore’s urban families. Center for Urban Families does this by working to connect fathers to their children, creating opportunities for economic and financial security through work, and providing access to other key interventions and supportive services. Check them out over at their website. 

The Father’s Playbook – A Helpful Guide For Dads 

The Father’s Playbook was developed specifically for guys. It is in response to the lack of information whose partners are expecting a baby. The foundational work was done by the Center for Health Communication at The University of Texas at Austin. The Texas Safe Babies team at The University of Texas Health Science Center Tyler and the SAGA team at UT Austin then joined to turn this work into a fully-functioning app. The Father’s Playbook Team has experts in health communication, maternal and child health, and infant development. Check out their website for more on The Father’s Playbook.
