Johnny Bullock, Coordinator/Facilitator @ The Virginia Family& Fatherhood Initiative, discusses how VFFI is striving to empower young men to become strong, positive providers to help stem the epidemic of fatherless families in Virginia. We also discuss how the reunification of healthy families contributes to the total health and wellness of the family, community, and society at large. Young fathers, especially those who have grown up in poverty, need assistance and support to make the transition from adolescence to responsible parenthood and adulthood. VFFI curriculum provides clients with
1) the opportunity to spend time with other men dealing with similar issues and problems
2)support when feeling scared, overwhelmed or depressed
3)access to professionals who serve as counselors, advocates and brokers with the legal and social service systems. johnny.bullock@vdh.virginia.gov
