ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
On behalf of the members of the Fatherhood
Coalition of Tarrant County and Workforce
Solutions for Tarrant County, I would like to
personally express my deepest appreciation to
Yvette M. Wingate, Ed.D., with Tarrant County
Public Health (TCPH). Dr. Wingate partnered with
us to complete this updated version of the free
Dad’s Pocket Resource Guide, which was first
introduced in 2005. TCPH provided assistance from
the Health Equity and Community Engagement
staff; Minority Health Specialist, Edrea Au, along
with interns: Natalie Gore and Jennifer Villasana,
who labored tirelessly to ensure that all information
is comprehensive and accurate. Words are
inadequate to fully communicate our gratitude for
their countless hours of dedication to this project.

HISTORY OF THE FATHERHOOD
COALITION OF TARRANT COUNTY
The vision for a fatherhood initiative in Tarrant County
began largely in the context of an increased focus by state
and national organizations on the role of fathers in the
positive development and overall well-being of children.
Social scientists and public policy makers were emphasizing
negative behaviors in some children—academic failures,
delinquency, and poor self-esteem—that could be correlated
with father absence. In response, efforts were emerging to
develop more resources to aggressively address factors that
may contribute to father absence and lack of father
involvement with their children—unemployment, low
educational achievement, and skill deficiencies. In addition,
welfare reform began broadening its outlook to consider
strategies that might better address the adverse impacts of
absent fathers on the emotional, social, and financial health
of children.
In October 2000, the Tarrant County Workforce
Development Board, now known as Workforce Solutions for
Tarrant County (WSTC), began planning efforts to develop a
county-wide initiative to promote responsible fatherhood and
strengthen the role of fathers in the lives of children. WSTC
invited community-based and social service organizations in
Tarrant County to a series of public forums and discussions
focusing on fathers and their children.

In November 2000, sixty Tarrant County service
organizations attended an informational meeting hosted by
Workforce Board staff and community leaders at Tarrant
County College - South Campus. Committees were formed to
develop strategies to address specific needs of four target
populations of fathers—teen fathers, incarcerated fathers,
fathers with the Office of the Attorney General child support
orders, and “at-risk” fathers. An at-risk father was described
as any father subject to being disconnected from his children,
either physically, emotionally, and/or by lack of financial
support.
In January 2001, a Fatherhood Advisory Task Force
(FATF) was established to guide and develop a
comprehensive fatherhood initiative.
In March 2001, TATF joined forces with a
community-based effort under the leadership of Charles
Scoma, then Mayor of North Richland Hills. This partnership
led to hosting a community forum in conjunction with the
Texas Fatherhood Initiative to engage additional partners.
The community forum established the Fatherhood Coalition
of Tarrant County (FCTC).
In June 2001, FCTC held the first annual “Celebrate
Fatherhood” event and since then, has continued to promote
responsible fatherhood every year.
