NFI RELEASES DEPLOYED FATHERS AND FAMILIES™ GUIDE AND BROCHURE
Keeping military fathers connected with their families during deployment is one of National Fatherhood Initiative’s top priorities. That is why NFI, with generous support from the Boeing Company and assistance from Parents Educating Parents, Inc., created the Deployed Fathers and Families™ Guide for Enlisted Personnel and the accompanying brochure, 10 Ways to Stay Involved with Your Children During Deployment.

“These materials equip military dads and their families with important information, advice, and strategies to help them effectively manage the challenges of military deployment,” explains Christopher Brown, NFI’s Vice President of National Programming. The 48-page Guide offers practical pre-deployment tips and exercises to help military dads and their families handle the financial, medical, legal, and personal aspects of military deployment. The Guide provides military dads with many of the most critical tools they need to stay connected at home while taking care of business overseas. The brochure condenses some of the information in the Guide into 10 tips that a deployed dad can use to stay connected with mom and his kids.

NFI has distributed 35,000 of the guides and brochures to individuals and organizations that work with military families. These materials will be available for purchase from the National Fatherhood Clearinghouse and Resource Center (NFCRC) in May. Email: info@fatherhood.org, Web Site: http://www.fatherhood.org.
