| Description: |
The Indiana Fathers & Families initiative works to maximize available grant resources for helping fathers become more engaged in their children's lives. The initiative supports community-based programs that address one or more of these primary goals: increase fathers' invovlement with their children; improve fathers' parenting skills; improve co-parenting relationships; increase paternity establishment, and increase child support collections. A secondary goal of the program is to decrease out-of-wedlock pregnancies. |
