Abstract
This publication provides fact sheets on the most significant reentry challenges and the best practices on engaging incarcerated and reentering fathers on becoming better dads. The Connections Project of National Fatherhood is an initiative that focuses on the power of engaged fathers for successful reentry. Through Webinars, training, and resources, the Connections Project aims to educate and equip facilitators with best practices that will reduce recidivism by helping to reconnect inmates with their families. Content discussions are included on housing, employment, marriage and relationships, substance abuse, mentoring and community support, child support, involving moms, and domestic violence. Each section provides subject data, best practice spotlight, and quick tips. References and footnotes
