We provide resources and activities that demonstrate the significant impact of consistency and the importance of simply being present in their children’s lives. \nCarter County Drug Prevention Fatherhood Support Program\nWHAT IS THE PROBLEM?\n\nYouth without a highly involved father are at a greater risk of early substance use. Studies show that up to 75% of adolescents in substance abuse treatment come from fatherless homes.\nInvolved fathers boost a child’s security\, self-esteem\, and success in school and life. In contrast\, father absence increases the risk of delinquency—85% of youth in prison come from fatherless homes and face a higher chance of incarceration as adults.\nChildren with both an involved father and mother have better physical and mental health\, stronger problem-solving skills\, and greater confidence and empathy. They also develop more self-control and moral awareness. In contrast\, fatherless children face higher rates of anxiety\, depression\, and suicide. Teens with engaged dads experience lower stress and fewer depressive symptoms.\n\nWHAT CAN WE DO?\nOur Fatherhood Reconnection Program focuses on supporting fathers in recovery as they navigate the challenges of reconnecting with their children after years of absence.

Studies show that up to 75% of adolescents in substance abuse treatment come from fatherless homes.\nInvolved fathers boost a child’s security\, self-esteem\, and success in school and life. In contrast\, father absence increases the risk of delinquency—85% of youth in prison come from fatherless homes and face a higher chance of incarceration as adults.\nChildren with both an involved father and mother have better physical and mental health\, stronger problem-solving skills\, and greater confidence and empathy. They also develop more self-control and moral awareness. In contrast\, fatherless children face higher rates of anxiety\, depression\, and suicide. Teens with engaged dads experience lower stress and fewer depressive symptoms.\n\nWHAT CAN WE DO?\nOur Fatherhood Reconnection Program focuses on supporting fathers in recovery as they navigate the challenges of reconnecting with their children after years of absence. We provide resources and activities that demonstrate the significant impact of consistency and the importance of simply being present in their children’s lives. \n\nWeekly all-inclusive Dad Support Group for fathers to lean on one another\, share experiences\, and exchange advice\nVirtual Facebook support group\nMonthly Dad Hang Outs to promote engagement among dads and kid-free opportunities Monthly Family Dinner Night to encourage healthy dinner table interactions\nMonthly Family Field Trips to encourage community and education Monthly Sporting events for families of all ages Monthly parenting classes for moms and dads\n\n  \nContact Information Valdare Johnson valdare@cartercountydrugprevention.org\nDownload Flyer \n  URL:https://cartercountydrugprevention.org/event/elizabethton-dad-group/2025-12-04/ LOCATION:Elizabethton / Carter County Public Library\, 201 N Sycamore St\, Elizabethton\, TN\, 37643\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cartercountydrugprevention.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/dad-purple-elizabethton.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251205T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251205T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T151538 CREATED:20251125T140716Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260113T190023Z UID:10001793-1764957600-1764964800@cartercountydrugprevention.org SUMMARY:Food & Fun: Cooking with Kids DESCRIPTION:This event is FREE but please RSVP by calling or texting 423-723-5041 or register on the form below.\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Food and Fun Cooking with Kids Registration\n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Number of children attending(Required)PhoneEmail URL:https://cartercountydrugprevention.org/event/food-fun-cooking-with-kids/ LOCATION:Elizabethton / Carter County Public Library\, 201 N Sycamore St\, Elizabethton\, TN\, 37643\, United States END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
