Incarcerated Fathers Model parental training

Qualified Incarcerated Black Fathers (QIBF)

   

Introduction to the Seven Core Concepts for Incarcerated Black Fathers

Our program segment introduces a transformative model encompassing seven core concepts tailored for incarcerated black fathers. This initiative, conducted in collaboration with corrections authorities, specifically targets qualified black fathers within the correctional system. The training courses provided are designed to bring about positive change and personal growth, catering to those with less than three years until their release date.

The focus is on reaching black fathers who may find value in our program, irrespective of whether they are currently fathers within the institution or are part of a community-based program setting under official custody. This includes individuals in higher security level facilities, those on probation or parole with a duration exceeding one year, and those mandated by legal organizations or departmental social services agencies to participate in parenting classes.

Our  Seven Core Concepts will cover, seven areas:

  1. Self-Reflection and Identity: Encouraging incarcerated black fathers to engage in introspection, understanding their identity, and fostering a positive sense of self.
  2. Parental Responsibility and Accountability: Instilling a sense of responsibility and accountability for one's role as a father, emphasizing the impact of their actions on their children.
  3. Effective Communication Skills: Developing communication skills essential for healthy parent-child relationships, equipping fathers with tools to express love, guidance, and support.
  4. Emotional Intelligence and Coping Mechanisms: Providing strategies for emotional regulation and coping, enabling fathers to navigate challenges and make informed decisions for their families.
  5. Building Healthy Relationships: Exploring the importance of healthy relationships within the family and community, emphasizing the positive influence fathers can have on their children's lives.
  6. Life Skills and Planning for the Future: Equipping fathers with practical life skills and assisting in developing plans for a positive and productive future post-release.
  7. Community Reintegration and Support Networks: Addressing the challenges of reintegration into the community, emphasizing the importance of support networks for sustained positive change.

 

       Indeed, the essence of our model is rooted in the dedication to empower incarcerated black fathers on their journey towards embracing their roles, fostering personal development, and preparing for a successful reintegration into their families and communities. We recognize the transformative power of targeted, quality training courses in contributing to the well-being of both fathers and their children.

Empowering Fathers:Our commitment extends beyond the prison walls, acknowledging the potential within each incarcerated black father to become a positive influence in the lives of their children. By fostering a sense of empowerment, we aim to break cycles of adversity and equip fathers with the tools needed to build a better future for themselves and their families.

Fostering Personal Development:Personal growth is at the core of our model. Through self-reflection, skill-building, and emotional intelligence, we guide incarcerated black fathers on a journey of personal development. By addressing the root causes of challenges, we empower fathers to overcome obstacles and redefine their identities.

Preparing for Successful Reintegration:Successful reintegration is not just a goal; it's a shared vision. Our model emphasizes the importance of preparing fathers for life beyond incarceration. We provide practical life skills, assist in future planning, and create a roadmap for a seamless transition back into their families and communities.

Quality Training Courses:Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the quality of our training courses. Each program is meticulously crafted to address the unique needs of incarcerated black fathers. We understand that targeted, relevant education is key to breaking down barriers and fostering lasting positive change.

Contributing to Well-being:At the heart of our mission is the well-being of both fathers and their children. By investing in the personal development of incarcerated black fathers, we believe in creating a ripple effect that positively influences the lives of families and communities. We recognize that strong, empowered fathers contribute significantly to the overall health and vitality of society.

In conclusion, our model stands as a testament to the transformative power of education, personal development, and empowerment. Through these principles, we strive to uplift incarcerated black fathers, instilling in them the confidence and skills needed to reclaim their roles as positive contributors to their families and communities.


Delivery of Service

 

Collaboration with the Department of Corrections is integral to the success of our mission. We recognize the unique challenges posed by incarceration, and we are committed to customizing our methods of delivery in close partnership with each facility. Our goal is to provide critical assistance to incarcerated black fathers who are qualified to participate in our program.

Tailored Methods of Delivery:Understanding the security challenges inherent in the prison environment, we are flexible in customizing our methods of delivery. This may include regular meetings, classes, and workshops designed to accommodate the specific needs and circumstances of each facility.

Partnership with Correctional Facilities:We prioritize a collaborative approach by working closely with correctional facilities. This involves open communication, coordination, and cooperation to ensure the smooth implementation of our program. By aligning with the policies and protocols of each facility, we aim to create a supportive and secure environment for participants.

Ensuring Best Outcomes:Our commitment to achieving the best outcomes for incarcerated black fathers drives our methodology. Through regular assessments, feedback loops, and collaboration with correctional authorities, we adapt our approach to address the evolving needs of participants. We understand that individualized support is crucial for success.

Critical Assistance for Qualified Participants:We are dedicated to identifying and assisting qualified participants within the correctional system. By tailoring our program to their needs, we aim to provide critical assistance that goes beyond the confines of incarceration. Our focus is on preparing these fathers for a positive and successful reintegration into their families and communities.

Navigating Security Challenges:The security challenges posed by incarceration demand a strategic and respectful approach. We prioritize the safety and well-being of both participants and correctional staff. Our methods are designed to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring a secure environment for everyone involved.

In summary, our collaboration with the Department of Corrections is built on flexibility, partnership, and a shared commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of incarcerated black fathers. Together, we aim to overcome challenges, provide critical assistance, and contribute to the holistic well-being and successful reintegration of qualified participants.

The Goal

 

The overarching goal of training incarcerated black fathers is to equip them with contemporary parenting skills and responsibilities. By providing this training, we aim to enhance the likelihood that these fathers will successfully return to their communities, homes, and parenting responsibilities. The ultimate objective is to empower them to better provide for their children, ensure their safety, and reduce the risk of harm they may face.

Updating Parenting Skills:Our program focuses on updating parenting skills to align with contemporary standards. This includes understanding the evolving dynamics of parenthood, effective communication strategies, and the importance of emotional support in fostering healthy parent-child relationships.

Enhancing Responsible Parenting:Incorporating a sense of responsibility is a cornerstone of our training. We emphasize the significance of active involvement in the lives of their children, from emotional support to providing a secure and nurturing environment. By instilling a deep understanding of their parenting responsibilities, we aspire to create positive and lasting impacts on families.

Successful Reintegration into Communities:The training is tailored to prepare incarcerated black fathers for a successful reintegration into their communities. This involves not only addressing parenting skills but also providing life skills that are essential for navigating societal challenges post-release. A well-prepared father is better positioned to contribute positively to the community.

Reduction of Recidivism:We recognize that a newfound sense of responsibility significantly contributes to reducing the likelihood of reoffending. By arming black fathers with contemporary parenting knowledge, we aim to break cycles of incarceration and empower them to make choices that align with their roles as responsible parents.

Creating a Safer Environment for Children:One of our primary objectives is to create safer environments for children. By equipping fathers with the skills to provide physical and emotional security, we strive to reduce the risks children may face and contribute to their overall well-being.

In essence, our training program seeks to transform incarcerated black fathers into informed, responsible parents. This transformation not only benefits the fathers themselves but also has a ripple effect on their children, families, and communities. By investing in their parenting skills and responsibilities, we aim to break cycles of incarceration and foster a positive trajectory for fathers and their families.
