Based on the assumption that most fathers want to act responsibly, but often do not know how or face obstacles--many of which are created by their own behavior--this Responsible Fatherhood Curriculum uses a discussion approach and experiential learning to help men think differently about their role as fathers and about altering their behavior. This guide describes the curriculum and details the 20-session program. The guide's introduction provides information on the experiential learning cycle and suggestions for starting the peer group. The introduction also discusses confidentiality and what to expect in a group, and provides tips for facilitating peer support groups and managing behavior problems. The sessions, lasting 90 to 120 minutes, are as follows: (1) "Introduction to Responsible Fatherhood"; (2) "What Are My Values?"; (3) "Boys to Men: Experiencing Manhood"; (4) "The Art of Communication"; (5) "Fathers as Providers"; (6) "Noncustodial Fathers: Rights and Responsibilities"; (7) "Developing Values in Children"; (8) "Coping as a Single Father"; (9) "Dealing with Children's Behaviors"; (10) "Relationships: Being a Friend, Partner, Parent, and Employee"; (11) "Understanding Male-Female Relationships"; (12) "Managing Conflict and Handling Anger"; (13) "Handling Anger and Conflict on the Job"; (14) "Surviving on the Job"; (15) "The Issue of Race/Racism.
