"Stepping Up, Being a Father" with James Murdock Jr.

James Murdock, Jr., talks about his experience being part of the DAD Project, a City of Milwaukee Health Department program that works to strengthen the bonds between fathers and their children. Through weekly in-home visits and group sessions, the program supports Milwaukee fathers in engaging in early literacy activities, tracking their child's development, and building a community of fathers. James is, as he says, a father, his most important job. The DAD Project can be accessed at DAD Project.
