Boot Camp for New Dads Continues to Be Identified as a National Model |
| |
Boot Camp has long enjoyed recognition as the premier program for new fathers across the country. Recent additions to these accolades include the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ report titled: The Importance of Fathers in the Healthy Development of Children, which included a description of Boot Camp for New Dads and several of our programs as well as our Caring for New Moms and Troubleshooter’s Guide to Crying Babies.
Earlier this year, the U.S. Navy’s 3 year accreditation of the Family Support Program at Pearl Harbor recommended that Boot Camp for New Dads, run by Chet Adessa, become a Navy-wide best practice. Another important addition comes from Scaling for Impact: Strategies for Spreading Social Innovation in Stanford’s Social Innovation Review. It identifies Boot Camp for New Dads is as a model program for replication in new communities as it “offers support and a level of detail that makes implementation easy for local sponsors and helps assure the quality and success of the program while still affording the flexibility to adapt to local circumstances”.
While these accolades are gratifying, Boot Camp continues to seek new approaches for extending our reach among new fathers as well as the depth of our support we provide in helping them successfully transform into dads. |
