| Families Matter‘s AFIRM program was recently featured in an article by David Waters for the University of Memphis Institute for Public Service Reporting. The article includes a detailed summary of how the AFIRM program is tackling the root causes of poverty and family instability by focusing on the vital role of fathers. As part of Tennessee’s broader welfare reform efforts, the program provides education and support to low-income fathers, encouraging stronger involvement in their children’s lives and co-parenting agreements. By offering job training, legal support, and parenting classes, AFIRM aims to break the cycle of fatherless homes and improve long-term outcomes for families in the region. |
