The Neah Kee Papa (I am your Father) is a parenting enhancement program designed to support the well being of children and to encourage and promote the parenting role of fathers.
Neah Kee Papa is more than just the formalized program outlined below: Fathers can arrange to attend any time and do not have to complete the formal program to benefit from Neah Kee Papa. When a father participates, he can access counseling, peer resource groups, guest speakers on topics of interest and we have links to a vast wealth of resources and programs offered by the MMF and or other agencies. The program itself is flexible. If the participants choose to enroll in the 10 session program, they can obtain a certificate of completion in many different ways. Participants do not have to follow the normal weekly format, but can complete it over a number of months. The Neah Kee Papa program can help meet what ever needs the fathers may have. The program is free and open to any male that would like to participate.
