Based on “Fathers are Critical to Child Well-Being” by Linda C. Passmark, Ph.D., LPC, CCPS

The following is sample content from my forthcoming book on fatherhood—a project focused on exploring the societal, developmental, and spiritual importance of fathers in a world increasingly marked by their absence. The focus is on what churches and non-profits can do to help fathers. Drawing from leading research and voices in the field, this section illustrates the foundational thesis of the book: when fathers are absent, children suffer; when they are present and engaged, children thrive.

What am I missing in terms of recommendations that you think would be helpful?
