Fatherhood Training Programme
Fatherhood Training Course focuses on fostering active, involved, and nurturing fathers.
Fatherhood Training Programme
We use material from the Positive Parenting Skills Training with components focused on the father. Fatherhood training acknowledges the inequity and high rate of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in South Africa. It asserts that GBV can only be addressed by offering fathers a means by which they can explore how they were fathered and how they would like to father going forward.
Focus:
Fatherhood Training Course focuses on fostering active, involved, and nurturing fathers. This six session programme covers:
- The role of the father
- Understanding children’s behaviour and development
- Positive discipline
- Gender-equitable parenting.
It encourages active, involved, and non-violent fatherhood.
Course Breakdown:
The course consists of six sessions. There is the option of adding a session to include rethinking parenting in terms of corporal punishment. Sessions run for 3 ½ hours in groups of 10 to 30 parents. Refreshments and notes are provided. The programme is run weekly during the week or on a Saturday.
We can also offer a wide range of workshops at great rates for schools and communities. Please contact paces@theparentcentre.org.za for more information.
