The HFA offers the Dads in Action Program as an educational and social support system designed to provide Dads with a sense of belonging as well as keys to strengthen the family unit.  The program focuses on building strong family ties within the context of having a bleeding disorder.  Program participants include both fathers of children with hemophilia and fathers with hemophilia.

The Dads in Action program is offered in a blended format of nationally coordinated webinars and face-to-face trainings.  The face-to-face events (both local and national) offer Dads the opportunity to not only apply what they have learned through the webinar series, but also to engage their families in a coordinated Dads/Family program.  As part of the program, Dads are challenged to set goals and share accomplishments with other Dads to encourage peer-learning.

If you would like more information on the Dads in Action program or to get a Dads group started in your area, please contact:  programs@hemophiliafed.org.   To read about one Dad’s experience, click here: My Story_Rick
