An Online Resource Library on Domestic & Sexual Violence
The mission of the ICRF is to Ðsignificantly increase the number of children in Illinois that grow up with a responsible father in their lives.Ó Scroll to the bottom of the page through the above link to access the Annual Report 2011 file. The report outlines the Councils various activities in 2011 as well as plans for 2012.
The guide describes in detail guiding principles and core components of the Safe Engagement model, as well as key principles about domestic violence upon which practice recommendations in the model are based.
In addition to providing a comprehensive background on the history of the responsible fatherhood field, the toolkit includes helpful information on starting and building programs, including budgeting, hiring, and sustainability.
Users will learn how to encourage absentee fathers to re-engage with their children, and find strategies for discussing issues such as domestic violence, and learn how to talk with mothers about the importance of fathers presence in their childrens lives. The toolkit is divided into four sections: overview and lessons learned, home visits and group connections, diverse father populations, and additional information and sample resources.
CRFCFW identifies the following purposes of the survey: to identify current programmatic priorities at both the state and local levels; to examine the impact of the financial climate on the existence and range of services provided by responsible fatherhood programs at both the state and the local levels, and; to explore the extent to which programs have responded to increasing funder requests for evidence of program effectiveness.
