Laying the Foundation: Building Fathership Brick by Brick

We’ve Got Mail — And It’s Not from AOL

Big moves over here at Fathership HQ (aka my living room). We’ve officially stepped out of the Stone Age and into the dot-com era. That’s right — we’ve got real emails now. Not Hotmail. Not “mydadsucks1993@gmail.com.” Real, official, grown-up nonprofit emails.

📫 info@Fathership.com – Hit this up for general questions, collaborations, media, or if you’re just trying to figure out what the hell this thing is.

📫 ToddThomas@Fathership.com – That’s me. Direct line. Reach out if you want to talk about the work, the vision, or what Fathership can do for you.

💰 Donations@FathershipProgram.com – This is our official PayPal. If you believe in what we’re doing and want to support it, this is where to do it. Every dollar counts and goes straight back into helping men do the work.

Why This Matters (And No, It’s Not Just a New Email)

This is about trust. It’s about showing up in a way that says: We’re here to stay. Real infrastructure. Real consistency. And yes, real emails — so you know we’re not some fly-by-night operation.

We’re also preparing to launch Google Ads, which means the next dad, brother, or son searching for support in a custody fight, a court battle, or a moment of crisis might land on us instead of some overpriced, unrelatable nonsense.

That’s the goal: make it easy for men to find real support, not just lectures or recycled platitudes.

What We’re Doing Right Now

Our primary offering right now is the 12-week “Fatherhood Is Sacred” program. This is a class for dads who want to step up, whether they’re court-ordered or doing it on their own to show initiative and commitment.

✅ Available online (nationwide)✅ In-person in California or Washington✅ Free of charge — donations welcome, but never required✅ Ends with a certificate you can bring to court to show you’re serious

We’ve already helped men reconnect with their children, gain visitation, and stand stronger in court. In some cases, even opposing attorneys have recommended our program.

We now have two certified facilitators — myself and Sean — so we can meet men where they are, in real time.

Where We’re Headed

This is just the beginning. As we grow, we’re working hard to roll out three major programs that will expand the impact of Fathership:

✅ Empowered CALM (Anger Management)

The course is written. It works. We’re just formatting an optional coloring workbook for it — but the program itself can be taught right now. It’s not court-approved yet, but once we get NAMA-certified, it will be.

✍️ Domestic Violence Prevention Program

Still in the writing phase. This won’t be another bland checklist — we’re building something that teaches responsibility and transformation. This will be offered after certification.

✍️ Emotional Maturity Program

Also in development. This isn’t court-mandated (yet), but it could look good in court — and more importantly, it’s for men who want to evolve. Period. Emotional maturity isn’t just for relationships or custody—it’s for life.

Why We Need Your Help

Everything we just mentioned hinges on one thing: getting certified through NAMA (the National Anger Management Association). That certification allows our programs to be recognized in court and taken seriously by judges, lawyers, and social workers across the country.

That takes money. Not a million dollars — but enough to cover training, certification, and outreach. That’s why we’re setting up infrastructure, launching ads, and asking for support.

This isn’t a hobby. It’s a movement. And while we’re already helping men — we want to help more.

Real Talk

I can’t build this alone. I’m not trying to play Caesar here — though I will say, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it damn sure wasn’t built by one man.

This work takes a village, a team, a brotherhood. And yes, I’m showing up every day as a King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover — doing what I can with what I’ve got.

If you believe in what we’re doing, help us keep building.

This is for men who want to grow, protect, lead, and stop handing down trauma like it’s some kind of inheritance.

Let’s do it right — and let’s do it together.
