The only trauma-informed curriculum designed to turn men into great dads

Amazing Dads Fatherhood Curriculum teaches fathers with kids of all ages to become exceptional parents. These detailed lessons meet dads where they are, starting from the common tendencies of male socialization to help explain key concepts of healthy fathering. Through a trauma-informed approach, this curriculumcreates safety in the group setting while delving into critical topics that fathers simply do not tend to talk about with people in their lives.

Unlike other fatherhood curricula, Amazing Dads addresses a breadth of topics, empowering men to discuss issues like family of origin, sexuality, how punishment can turn into abuse, self-care, and how toxic messages in the culture can hinder parent-child relationships. Each session incorporates grounding and breathing exercises, in addition to activities, exercises, and experiential opportunities that allow participants to connect with the material on a meaningful level. By the end of this course, fathers will have gained the increased self-awareness needed to enhance their relationships with their children and other family members.



Lead fathers through a curriculum of targeted lessons focused on how male socialization affects their parenting
Guide participants through exercises for developing relational, communication, and conflict resolution skills
Connect with dads on a meaningful level by creating a safe space for discussions of trauma and other difficult subjects
Explain important parenting concepts using examples, hands-on activities, and more

This curriculum is excellent for use in parenting groups, behavioral health treatment programs, addiction treatment programs, and other community-based programs serving fathers. Dads of all backgrounds, with kids of all ages, will benefit from the wisdom in Amazing Dads Fatherhood Curriculum.
