Fathers Make A Difference

The Oklahoma Fatherhood Consortium and Oklahoma Fatherhood Program are subsidiaries of COPE, Inc. a non profit 501(c)(3) multi-cultural behavioral health outpatient clinic. The goal of OFC is to improve the well being of children by improvising the number of children growing up with committed, involved, and responsibile fathers and to increase societal attention to the crisis of fathers being absent. 

Through community forums, media campaigns, and public advocacy, these programs will foster discussion and action about the issue of fatherhood at the personal, community, state, and national level.

Program Details

The OFP consists of several programs: Fatherhood skills training, incarcerated fahters, low income/teen fathers, and new/expectant fathers. 

  • Fatherhood skills training is designed to facilitate organizations interested in started seminars at schools, in the workplace, and in other places where fathers are found.
  • Incarcerated fathers program keeps incarcerated fahters connected with their children. It provieds fatherhood training to long-term inmates as well as those being released from prison in order to maintain the parent-child bond and decrease the likelihood that the parent will return to prodison
  • Low income/teen fathers are provided with a variety of services and supports including counseling, educational/vocational training, and mentoring. This also includes peer support groups.
  • New/expectant fathers program is designed to help those fathers develop the skills necessary to be effective fathers in the case of unwed fathers. This program also seeks to encourage the establishment of paternity. By establishing a secure father-child bond early, fathers are more likely to maintain healthy, long-term, and responsible relationships with thier children. 
  • New/expectant fathers program is designed to help those fathers develop the skills necessary to be effective fathers in the case of unwed fathers. This program also seeks to encourage the establishment of paternity.

"Fathers, like mothers, are not born. Men grow into fathers and fathering is a very important stage in their development."
