Father-Daughter Summit Overview

Father-Daughter Summit
Overview
Healthy father-daughter bonds result in decreased rates of promiscuity, substance abuse, dropping out
of high school, image obsession, depression and even suicide. To strengthen communication and
enhance time spent together between daughters and their dads, the National Center for Fathering has
created a seven-session conference including general, dad-only/daughter-only, and one-on-one
sessions. We call this interactive day of learning the Father-Daughter Summit. Since 2003, the
National Center for Fathering has conducted 29 Father-Daughter Summit events reaching 9,600
fathers and daughters.
Benefits of the Father-Daughter Summit
Creates an environment to break down walls
Puts tools in a father’s toolbox to connect with his
daughter
Provides a rich opportunity to get away from
distractions and focus on each other
Dads realize they aren’t alone in the challenge of
connecting with their daughter
Gives the benefits of NCF research and insights to help
fathers understand the unique needs of their daughters
Teaches fathers and daughters how to have meaningful
discussions down the road
To achieve the outcomes of the Summit experience, the program provides a fun, welcoming and
highly interactive environment. It guides fathers and daughters through a series of exercises and
learning experiences that teach basic principles about the relationships between dads and daughters
while also helping each participant to explore deeply personal issues that must be addressed in order
to successfully reach the relational summit.
Significant Results:
Prior to attending the Summit, 35% of daughters
surveyed were very to extremely satisfied with their
relationship with their father. Six weeks after the event,
83% of these same daughters were very to extremely
satisfied with their relationship with their father.
The National Center for Fathering currently has resources to present a maximum of 8 FatherDaughter Summits per year, affecting the lives of 3,200 fathers and daughters. Our vision is to
develop financial and programming partners to reach 10,000 fathers and daughters annually.
