You're Not Alone
Monthly Survey

Sharing the work and the joy

We recognize partners share in the care of their children in different ways. In many families, fathers are very involved with their children and find that, with a little experience, they are very capable of caring for their children. Research shows that fathers can play a very special role in their children's lives.
