Research questions in this study are framed by a descriptive evaluation design to assess whether outcomes improve for low-income fathers who participate in the SAY SDDC FIRE program. Primary and secondary outcomes are assessed before and after participants complete core curricula - 24/7 Dads, Healthy Relationships, and Economic Stability workshops (pre to post). Primary outcome measures will indicate whether behaviors improved for healthy family relationships (parent, co-parent, and partner) and economic stability (financial, employment). Secondary outcome measures will indicate whether improvements were made in the attitudes and expectations that facilitate and reflect behavior for healthy partner relationships and financial stability. ## Eligibility - **Minimum age:** 18 Years - **Sex:** MALE - **Healthy Volunteers:** Yes ``` Inclusion Criteria: * Adult (age 18 and older) * Father/father figure * Has a child under the age of 24 * Reside in the San Diego, CA area Exclusion Criteria: * Minor (under the age of 18) * Not a father/father figure * Fathers with children over the age of 24 * Reside outside of San Diego, CA area ``` ## Arms - **Primary Services** (EXPERIMENTAL) — Primary services: Participants receive 16 hours of 24/7 Dads curricula, 4 hours of Healthy Relationships workshops, and 4 hours of Economic Stability workshops over the course of 8 weeks.
