Acknowledgements

On behalf of the members of the Fatherhood Coalition of Tarrant County and Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County, I would like to personally express my deepest appreciation to Yvette M. Wingate, Ed. D., with Tarrant County Public Health (TCPH). Dr Wingate partnered with us to complete this updated version of the free Dad's Pocket Resource Guide, which was first introduced in 2005. TCPH provided assistance from the Health Equity and Community Engagement staff; Minority Health Specialist, Edrea Au, along with interns: Natalie Gore and Jennifer Villasana, who labored tirelessly to ensure that all information is comprehensive and accurate. Words are inadequate to fully communicate our gratitude for their countless hours of dedication to this project.
