The Empowering Fatherhood Event attracted present and perspective fathers in the Community and was designed to demonstrate and accentuate the positive contributions fathers can provide to their children.
“Empowering Fatherhood Event” was held at New Hope Christian Community Center in Norfolk on Saturday, April 28. The Men of New Hope Church of Norfolk, Inc., under the direction of Dr. Calvin A. Durham, Pastor/President, presented the two-hour morning program.
Attendees participated in 20-minute focus group sessions that explored the following topics:
- healthy mental and physical lifestyles for fathers and children
- positive social behaviors that influence fathers’ choices
- effective financial strategies for future economic growth of the family
- a father’s involvement with the child holistically
Fathers hear about the importance of balanced nutrition for children.
