Becoming DADS by Marvin Charles

Becoming DADS by Marvin Charles

Most child advocates agree that fatherlessness goes beyond the boundaries of race and socio-economic status--and is the root of almost every social ill faced by children in our society. Children from fatherless homes are more likely to live in poverty, become involved in drugs, alcohol abuse, and crime, drop out of school, and suffer from health and emotional problems. Without any real, lasting intervention, this cycle continues and expands from generation to generation--unless an individual does what it takes to stop it. Marvin Charles is living proof that this is possible. Combining heart-wrenching realities with vital information that graphically portrays the problem of fatherlessness in our society, Becoming DADS lays out practical strategies for restoring absentee fathers to their families and helping them develop the skills they need to be engaged, effective dads.

Marvin, Charles: - Min. Marvin L. Charles, Sr. is an ordained minister and the Founder and Executive Director of Divine Alternatives for Dads Services (D.A.D.S.), an organization dedicated to restoring absent fathers through supportive community, and helping navigate relational and legal barriers that separate them from their children. He is a frequent speaker across the U.S., speaking about empowering fathers and sharing his successes with other organizations hoping to follow his example. Marvin and his wife Jeanett are a living success story of family restoration and are the proud parents of eight children.
