Unfortunately, many fathers face significant challenges in staying part of their children\u2019s lives. Many are unemployed or under-employed, yet many also are involved in parenting \u2013 driving moms to prenatal appointments or taking care of the children.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the federal government has encouraged more research on the role of fathers in family life and child development. A 2013 study of fathers\u2019 involvement by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that fathers who live with their children have become more involved in their children\u2019s lives than in previous generations. Although fewer fathers now live with their children because more children are born outside of marriage, the study found this impact is moderated because many parents who aren&#8217;t married do live together.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers and faculty members at 51ÁÔÆæ are working with others in the community to help Milwaukee fathers overcome barriers and stay involved with their children.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of their current projects:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advocating for African-American fathers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An associate professor in the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, David J. Pate Jr. became interested in the challenges facing African-American fathers as he read about stereotypes of absentee fathers while in graduate school at the University of Chicago. He was reminded of his own dad, uncles and other relatives who were hard working and actively involved in raising their families.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Pate is a leading expert on and advocate for low<strong>&#8211;<\/strong>income African-American men as a member of both the National Advisory Board of the Responsible Father Research Network and a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services expert panel on the needs of young fathers.<\/p>\n<p>One of his current research partnerships is with Milwaukee County\u2019s Pathways to Responsible Fatherhood Project, a federally funded effort that involves a number of agencies, including My Father\u2019s House, a long-time community partner in Pate\u2019s work. Pate is examining how programs can help non-custodial fathers overcome barriers including unemployment, depression and higher health risks related to chronic stressors like poverty and trauma.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19026\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19026\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/06\/FathersResearch11-1zcrdlx.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19026\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/06\/FathersResearch11-1zcrdlx-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Albert Holmes, CEO of My Father\u2019s House, chats with Dontae Dickerson and his daughter, Diamond.

That\u2019s important, but life can be difficult for men, even if they are trying to be fathers and caretakers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong> Direct Assistance for Dads (DAD) Project<br \/>\n<\/strong>Expectant and new fathers get one-on-one coaching and home visits, encouraging them to increase their involvement with their children and their partners through the Direct Assistance for Dads (DAD) Project. Geoffrey Swain, chief medical officer for the City of Milwaukee Health Department, professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and an adjunct faculty member in 51ÁÔÆæ&#8217;s Zilber School of Public Health, advises the program.<\/p>\n<p>Dads are referred through community agencies and Milwaukee Public Schools, and some\u00a0refer themselves. The 50 dads participating receive home visits from trained fatherhood involvement specialists every other week to help them improve their parenting skills, their relationships with the child and the child\u2019s mother and their own education and work skills.\u00a0The home visitation workers can also help the dads navigate complex questions of child support and visitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut these dads want to do more for their children than just provide economic support,\u201d\u00a0says Darcy DuBois, the health department\u2019s DAD Project program manager. \u201cFeedback from the fathers,\u201d she adds, \u201chas been overwhelmingly positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19027\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/06\/FathersResearch6-1qahyno.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19027\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/06\/FathersResearch6-1qahyno-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Dads attend an Empowering Families picnic, part of the City of Milwaukee Health Department\u2019s DAD Project.

The research is supported by the Wisconsin Partnership Program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.<\/p>\n<p>Next step, pending funding, will be to develop a social media campaign and other communications based on Pate and Barnekow\u2019s findings, then test these tools with more fathers-to-be.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Expecting Mom, Expecting Dads<br \/>\n<\/strong>Babies don\u2019t come with instructions. Moms can get a start on learning what to expect when they\u2019re expecting, but dads, especially low-income African-American dads, often get left out of the preparation and prenatal care. That\u2019s why Emmanuel Ngui, assistant professor in the Zilber School of Public Health, partnered with Wheaton Franciscan &#8211; St. Joseph Women\u2019s Outpatient Center and The Parenting Network to pilot a father-enhanced CenteringPregnancy prenatal care curriculum with African-American couples. \u201cExpecting Mom, Expecting Dads\u201d is a pilot project aimed at improving birth outcomes by better integrating and engaging fathers as supportive partners during prenatal care and throughout pregnancy.\u00a0The project\u2019s findings show that fathers are interested in learning about pregnancy and prenatal care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey welcomed the opportunity to talk with and learn from other fathers,\u201d says Ngui. \u201cThey liked being part of the pregnancy and delivery process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Couples liked attending prenatal care together and identified some key barriers to paternal engagement including: providers\u2019 attitudes towards minority fathers, limited pregnancy knowledge, stress and unsupportive structural and economic policies on fathers.\u00a0Facilitators included active inclusion\/linkage of fathers to resources and creating a positive\/supportive prenatal care environment that fosters paternal engagement. Although the pilot involved a small group, the birth outcomes were positive with all babies born full term weighing between 7- to 9-pounds, according to Ngui. \u201cOur team is exploring ways of conducting a larger intervention with more couples and multiple sites,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Milwaukee Young Parenthood Project<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19028\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/06\/FathersResearch8-127bxrb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19028\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/06\/FathersResearch8-127bxrb-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Milwaukee Young Parenthood Project is looking at ways to involve fathers and mothers in co-parenting.

Working in collaboration with St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital, Milwaukee Health Services Inc. and Milwaukee Public Schools, the project is recruiting 150 couples to take part in the most recent study. The goal, says Florsheim, is to give these young parents \u2013 regardless of their marital or romantic status \u2013 the skills to provide a safe, secure home environment for their children. \u201cWe are hoping to increase family stability for the sake of the next generation,\u201d says Florsheim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From driving their girlfriends or wives to
