Who We Are

The Worcester County Fathers & Family Network was created out of the concern for the lack of available services to support the role of fathers. Established in 1999, the Network’s objectives are:

  • Heighten the perception of the importance of the role fathers play in the emotional and physical health of their children.
  • Raise community awareness of the need to develop services for fathers.
  • Improve collaboration and information sharing between providers so that services may be made available to fathers and their families.
  • Identify gaps in the delivery and availability of services and to develop new services to assist fathers.
