Family Planning of Clallam County (FPCC) is happy to announce that it will
be utilizing a new curriculum for its Fatherhood First Classes. FPCC Health
Education Coordinator, Daryl Trowbridge, will be using The Nurturing
Father’s Program, an evidence-based parenting program for “developing
attitudes and skills for male nurturance.” One recent participant stated,
“I was easily able to relate to him (Mr. Trowbridge) and the knowledge he
was trying to impart. Half-way through the class, as I began to implement
the knowledge and lessons I was learning, I saw and felt a marked
improvement in my relationship with my children as well as their behavior at
home and at school.” In many ways, prevention of child abuse and neglect is
best achieved through the promotion of protective factors such as the
involvement of fathers who are willing to examine patterns in family
systems, change those that maladaptive, and relate to their children in ways
that are empathic, encouraging, and consistent. This is the core work of
the “Nurturing Father’s Program.” Because it is a cognitive/behavioral
intervention focused on primarily on men who are fathers, program
effectiveness is not dependent on the age of the child.

The next round of Fatherhood First Classes will begin the last week in
April. This free, weekly class will last 2 ½ hours per session and will
meet for 13 weeks. Space is limited to 12 fathers, but half of those spots
have already been snatched up. So please contact Daryl Trowbridge as soon
as possible to ensure enrollment in this life-changing class. Daryl can be
reached at 452-2954 ext. 21 or 775-5069. You can also email
dtrowbridge@familyplanningofcc.org.

There are many internet sites hoping to make a buck, but it doesn’t seem like there is much lose and they do have a fairly comprehensive list of attorneys, so I recommend you check your own information and add any details you like.

Because their attorney list seemed so comprehensive, I asked Avvo how they get their information. “Avvo collects lawyer information from several public sources. We start with information from the state bar, which can be provided to us in a variety of ways, including CD or the state bar web site. Then, if a lawyer has a web site that we are aware of, we will add profile information published on that web site. Finally, lawyers can “claim” their profiles for free and update their profile with as much information as they want, as often as they want.”

Avvo also wanted to emphasize:

“To help lawyers in Washington State reach more potential consumer clients online, Avvo also added “Avvo Answers,” a free legal questions-and-answers forum that allows lawyers to answer legal questions posted by consumers facing legal issues. It also added “Track Record,” a free, easy way for lawyers to post, showcase and discuss their best cases and matters via their
Avvo Profiles. Here’s a sample:
