The Strong Families Commission
THE COMMISSION is an Advocate for Fathers in the Lives of Children & Families… And the Systems that Serve Them.
Vision
Children and youth in Philadelphia, across the state of Pennsylvania, and around the country will benefit from and grow up with the emotional, social, physical, intellectual, spiritual, and financial support of both of their parents in a healthy and supportive environment.
Mission
Strengthen families and improve child well-being through the integration of Responsible Fatherhood; as well as advocate for the elimination of policy and program barriers that affect the successful reunification of children and families, including Fathers; leverage resources to contribute to the well-being of children and families; and encourage collaboration among Philadelphia organizations and beyond that are family-focused and inclusive of Fathers.
Goal
Model Philadelphia as the most Father Friendly City in America, by eliminating the systemic barriers that work against increasing father inclusiveness in all systems of care that address the well-being of children, youth, and families. Achieving this goal can propel the Philadelphia model of father integration into a successful example for the rest of the nation to emulate.
Strategy
Partner with children, youth, and family-focused agencies and systems of care to increase their capacity to include Fathers in their service delivery models that are designed to improve the well-being of the children they serve.
