The Men's Project:
Kick Start Programme
| Is your organisation interested in developing work with fathers? Do you ask yourself questions such as: ... Then "Kick Start" might help you!!! |
 |
Kick Start is an innovative programme which is funded by the Family Policy Unit (within DHSSPS) and coordinated by The Parenting Forum NI within the Parents Advice Centre.
Since 2005, it has offered a seven month package of training, support,
mentoring, reflection and practical action to organisations that are trying
to, or wishing to, engage with fathers in Northern Ireland. The aim of
the programme is to increase both the quantity and quality of dedicated
work with fathers, and to build a robust infrastructure in this area.
The Kick Start 2010 trainees are now coming to the end of their time on
this year's programme and have organised an event to help others to: understand
why we need increased engagement with fathers; get a sense of what Kick
Start offers; hear about the practical experience of a number of trainees;
meet Kick Start participants and find out about the hands-on things involved
in running an activity for fathers. To find out more please visit: http://www.parentsadvicecentre.org/projects/parentingforum/events.asp
