LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) — An upcoming program aims to strengthen families by supporting fathers and father figures throughout the region.
The West Ohio Community Action Partnership is seeking participants for its Fatherhood Initiative program, designed to help men become stronger parents and positive role models in the lives of children.
Program leaders say the initiative offers education and case management services to fathers across Allen County and surrounding areas, focusing on building skills and confidence in parenting.
