CFUF Publications Baltimore Responsible Fatherhood Program (BRFP)

Mission BRFP Baltimore Responsible Fatherhood Project The Baltimore Responsible Fatherhood Project (BRFP) is an outgrowth of the Center for Urban Families’ 15 year-old Men’s Services program, serving Baltimore’s lowincome fathers and communities. The broader goals of the program are to increase fathers’ emotional and financial support of their children and families by: • Improving acquisition and demonstration of parenting skills • Increasing child support awareness and management • Increasing healthy relationships and effective communication • Increasing job readiness and employability The mission of the Center for Urban Families is to strengthen urban communities by helping fathers and families achieve stability and economic success. Vision Our vision is a society in which individuals have the knowledge, skills, and resources to be self-sufficient; parents have the ability to provide the best opportunities for their children; and families are a solid foundation for healthy communities. HELPING FATHERS AND FAMILES WORK Since our founding in 1999, CFUF has remained at the front-line of addressing some of our city’s most pressing issues: poverty, unemployment, father-absence and family disintegration. Central to CFUF’s mission is the belief that men—the most disconnected and underserved citizens in urban communities—who connect with women, their children, and the workplace are key to the restoration of stability and optimism. Consistent with this mission, our organizational goal is to assist individuals in regaining the personal power needed to benefit their families and communities. The BRFP delivers services through a comprehensive 3-month cohort model, consisting of; • Intense case management • Group sessions using CFUF’s evidence-based DADMAP curriculum • Father/child outings and activities CENTER FOR URBAN FAMILIES 2201 N.
