Fatherhood is more than a holiday. Fathers, father figures, co-parents, and caregivers play a vital role in helping children thrive, yet their voices are often missing from conversations about family well-being. Discover why supporting all caregivers matters and how you can help shape stronger families, communities, and policies by sharing your experiences through BCDI-Ohio's Fatherhood Survey.

Mental health support begins with connection. Strong family engagement helps children feel safe, supported, and emotionally secure while reminding caregivers they are not alone. At BCDI-Ohio, we believe meaningful relationships, culturally affirming support, and community care are essential to building healthier families and stronger communities where healing and wellness can thrive together.
