The ECE Community



I have chosen to research The National Family Preservation Network, The National Fatherhood Initiative and The National Healthy Marriage Resource. I chose these organizations because they promote my Capstone Project Challenge. My goal is to work towards promoting Family Relationships to improve the overall well-being of our society by making families whole and building everlasting bonds.

The National Family Preservation Network (NFPN) mission is to serve as the primary national voice for the preservation of families. Our mission is achieved through initiatives in the areas of family preservationreunification, and father involvement. NFPN provides training, tools, and resources to assist policymakers and practitioners to build on a family's strengths and to preserve family bonds so children can be protected and nurtured at home. [www.nfpn.org]

The National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) is the nation's leading non-profit organization working to end father absence. According to NFI, underlying many of society's most pressing challenges is a lack of father involvement in their children's lives. NFI's mission is to equip fathers to intentionally and proactively engage fathers in their children's lives and improve the well-being of children by increasing the proportion of children growing up with involved, responsible, and committed fathers in their lives. [www.fatherhood.org]

The National Healthy Marriage Resource Center (NHMRC) is a clearinghouse for high quality, balanced, and timely information and resources on healthy marriage. NHMRC's mission is to help individuals and couples who choose marriage for themselves gain the knowledge and skills necessary to build and sustain a healthy marriage. NHMRC provides quality information, resources, and training on healthy marriage for experts, researchers, policymakers, media, marriage educators, couples and individuals, program providers, and others.
