Fathers Matter ATL was born out of a powerful collaboration between the Georgia Department of Public Health, the National Fatherhood Initiative, and the Morehouse School of Medicine Prevention Research Center. Grounded in NFI’s proven Community Mobilization Approach, we unite leaders across metro Atlanta to assess needs, build collective vision, and drive coordinated action that strengthens fatherhood at every level—from homes to systems.

​

Our approach is data-informed, community-driven, and purpose-focused: turning strategy into impact for fathers, families, and futures.
