Fathers for Change (Yale University) is designed to be offered individually to fathers who have young children (under 12 years) with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV). The Fathers for Change intervention includes 9 core topics, 4 co-parent and 5 father-child topics to be delivered in 60 minute sessions of individual treatment over 16-24 weeks. The intervention combines attachment, family systems and cognitive behavioral theory with the goals of: cessation of violence and aggression; abstinence from substances; improved co-parenting; decreased negative parenting behaviors; and increased positive parenting behaviors. Fathers for Change is unique in its focus on the paternal role throughout treatment, both in terms of the father-child and the co-parenting relationships. The central premise is that by placing focus on men as fathers they can increase their feelings of competence and meaning within their parenting role, and can provide motivation to change maladaptive patterns that have led to use of aggression and substances to control negative or effective parenting challenges and feelings. Fathers for Change focuses on skills training in the following areas: Identification of unhelpful and/or hostile thoughts and their origins, Understanding feelings and emotion regulation, Reflective functioning related to self, co-parent and children, Communication and problem solving around co-parenting. Restorative parenting.
