80. Becoming a 24/7 Dad ft. Christopher Brown

Happy Father's Day to all Dads everywhere.

This week on the Docs2Dads podcast, we are celebrating Father's Day with Christopher Brown, the President of the National Fatherhood Initiative.

NFI works with community partners to address the issue of fatherlessness plaguing communities across the country. This includes programs to support fathers' involvement in the family and ensure that fathers are included in the parenting support programs.

We start our conversation by discussing NFI's mission on their website - "Creating a world in which every child has a 24/7 Dad" and what that means to Mr. Brown both as a dad and as the President of NFI.

We talk about the way fatherhood has evolved in the minds of the Millenial and Gen Z generations.
How and why dads are getting more involved in the family life happening in their homes and supporting their wives' careers outside the home.
Then we shift gears to talk about the ways that NFI is working with community programs across the country to address fatherlessness.

Here are some resources that we reference in the episode:
