Our Heroes 2nd Chance Father in custody programs work with juveniles, jails and prisons to offer criminal justice involved men the rehabilitative support they need to overcome the trauma and post traumatic stress caused by the lingering effects of fatherlessness. Fatherlessness rates have been as high as 90% in some of our in custody populations. The Heroes Faith & Fatherhood curriculum is a full 12-36 month program that is grounded in biblical teachings. The program targets criminal justice impacted fathers, uncles and grandfathers who are dedicated to becoming stronger father figures and heads of households as commanded by scripture. The Heroes Faith and Fatherhood evidence based curriculum combines principles of self governance, productivity, management, service and leadership with proven active parenting, etiquette, life skills, substance and mental health programs and GED preparation classes and vocational certificates to help fathers grow into dependable pillars in their families. This program will also offer critical business vocabulary and financial literacy that will help prepare Fathers to enter their individual career fields. Within each area, students will complete daily journals to reflect on the impact of the classroom materials and group breakout discussions.
