Strengthening Fragile Families Training Institute
.  For over two decades, family practitioners have been working with low-income fathers and mothers from diverse backgrounds without the necessary knowledge and skills to optimize their work.

This two day institute will train interested individuals and agencies on the history of the responsible fatherhood and healthy marriage/relationship education movement; best-practices in working with men, women, mothers, fathers and families including recruitment, retention and evaluation, and how to implement effective peer support groups. SFFTI trains practitioners in the effective use of The Fatherhood Development Curriculum and The Relationship Skills for Strong Families curriculum developed by Dr. Jeffery M. Johnson. The curriculums are based on real experiences and challenges of fragile family settings.The curriculum also offers advice on facilitating groups and a theory of change methodology for training and participant learning.
