FatherLove, created by Craig Scott Brooks-Weiss, is the central information source for fathering in the Puget Sound area. "FatherLove is a grassroots organization committed to encouraging and strengthening positive father-child relationships. We work to improve the often negative social perception of men as nurturers. Men, women, fathers & mothers, service providers, and the community in general need to learn about the healing, transformative power and realistic benefits of fathers' attention and love. FatherLove provides information, research summaries, training and other resources to all of these groups, in order to create opportunities for fathers to engage meaningfully in their children's lives."

FatherLove recently sponsored a Father of the Year "What My Father Means to Me" essay contest. Winners were honored at a Seattle Mariners game. The winning essays from the school kids (grades 1-12) are beautiful and moving. You can read them on-line at the FatherLove Web site.

Perspectives on Fathering Stuart Birks and Paul Callister at the New Zealand'based Center for Public Policy Evaluation have put together an excellent series of papers on fathering.

We hope this collection will help by stimulating further debate." "Laurie P'Reilly's paper addresses the importance of good fathering.
