The Fatherhood Project At Massachusetts General Hospital

The Fatherhood Project (TFP) is a non-profit fatherhood organization in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) that: • Trains healthcare providers to engage and educate fathers about the critical role they play in raising healthy children • Designs and implements direct service programs and materials for fathers, with a special focus on at-risk and underserved populations who are patients or family members at MGH, MGH Community HealthCare Centers, other Partners Healthcare sites, and in local communities • Develops research to support interventions that advance father engagement locally, nationally and on-line General Information TFP’s programs and interventions are empirically based and reflect the research orientation of MGH and the Department of Psychiatry. Our programs focus on high-risk and underserved populations, including low-income, teen and incarcerated fathers. Our training programs educate health care professionals - including doctors, interns, residents, nurses, and social workers - who influence and interact with hundreds of fathers and families on a regular basis.
