Family Foundations was developed in the US by Mark Feinberg, Research Professor and Senior Scientist at the Prevention Research Center for the Promotion of Human Development, Penn State University, and is delivered in the UK by the Fatherhood Institute.
Family Foundations focuses on the couple (and parental) relationship and communication during the journey into parenthood. Family Foundations takes a ‘team around the child’ approach to parenting; is intrinsically father-inclusive; and encourages both parents to develop their skills as hands-on parents and sensitive, loving partners – enabling them to work together, as co-parents, for the benefit of their child.
Results from four randomized trials has shown that families who enroll in Family Foundations experience less stress and conflict, more warmth and cohesion, and more positive long-term outcomes for children than than families randomly assigned to a control group.
