It’s never too late for dads to learn how to be better dads, even if they never had one in the house when they were growing up.
In the 1960s, and long before that when Black men couldn’t find work due to discrimination, welfare rules banned fathers from living at home, or risk losing welfare payments for their family.
That disconnect still reverberates and impacts the family structure today.
“One of the biggest things we have are the systems in place that continue to systemically dissociate fathers,” said Ryan Berryman, founder and CEO of the San Bernardino Fatherhood.
