We Are A Second Question Organization
“We were thrilled to be trained in the 24/7 Dad™ program last year. It became immediately apparent that such a resource would fill a gaping hole for our service members… We are proud to be the first Navy base to implement your vision.” —Justin Thomas, Facilitator Naval Air Station Lemoore (Lemoore, CA)
“I’ve learned more from these classes than I learned in 33 years of living about being a man, owning up to responsibilities, and just being a dad. Being a dad is a wonderful thing when you really know what being a dad is all about. The 24/7 Dad™ program can teach you what being a dad is really all about.” —William, Father of 3, Baldwin County Fatherhood Initiative
“It’s addressed a huge need for the men. The InsideOut Dad™ program is well written and easily understood. It touches on important topics that I haven’t seen in other programs” —Pamela Norbeck, Facilitator, MD Dept. of Corrections, Jessup Facility (Jessup, MD).
“This is remarkable material.” —Janet Kregel, M.Ed. Iowa State University
“I wanted to thank you for your emails. As a father of three young children (girl 8, girl 4, and boy, 8 mo) it’s nice to get tips to help pull the family together. I always forward your emails to other dads I know so they can also benefit from the information.” —Dad
Most people who want to help kids ask the first question: What can I do to help that child in need? And that’s an important question.
But, if you really want to make a positive long-term difference in the life of a child, you need to ask the Second Question: How did the child get there in the first place? Why does he need my help?
More often than not, what you will find when you ask that question is that the child does not have the love, nurture, and guidance of an involved, responsible, and committed father. In fact, a child from a father-absent home is two to five times more likely to use drugs, live in poverty, fail in school, and suffer from a host of other risks.
In short, no other single factor hurts children more than father absence. Therefore, it is critical that we find ways to connect fathers to their children, heart to heart.
And that is why NFI’s work is needed and needs to be supported.
