Despite the fact that fatherhood in the United States is not a monolith and Black fathers make up over 40% of those served through Responsible Fatherhood (RF) program, little research explicitly centers the lived experiences of low\u2010income Black fathers. The current study used focus groups with fathers (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200923) and staff (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20098) enrolled in a RF grantee program. Thematic analysis was used to determine programmatic mechanisms supporting these fathers' success and areas for improvement. Our findings highlight that the creation of a \u201csafe space\u201d by facilitators and the power of the group dynamic were essential elements for fathers' success overall. We also identified numerous programmatic mechanisms supporting Black fathers' success specific to fathering, healthy relationships, and economic stability. Finally, we highlighted important limitations that may impede the success of low\u2010income, Black fathers related to the 24\/7 Dad\u00ae curriculum, engagement efforts, and economic stability, and discuss related practice, policy, and research recommendations.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/famp.13036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,15]],"date-time":"2024-07-15T23:04:07Z","timestamp":1721084647000},"page":"1926-1946","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Elevating Black fathers' experiences in the National Fatherhood Initiative: Strengths and areas for improvement of 24\/7 Dad\u00ae curriculum and case management services"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6842-418X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura A.","family":"Voith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Case Western Reserve University  Cleveland Ohio USA"},{"name":"Center on Trauma and Adversity  Cleveland Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katie N.","family":"Russell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Case Western Reserve University  Cleveland Ohio USA"},{"name":"Center on Trauma and Adversity  Cleveland Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashley","family":"Withrow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Case Western Reserve University  Cleveland Ohio USA"},{"name":"Center on Trauma and Adversity  Cleveland Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Kearney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Passages: Connecting Fathers and Families  Cleveland Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tian","family":"Xia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Case Western Reserve University  Cleveland Ohio USA"},{"name":"Center on Trauma and Adversity  Cleveland Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Darrell","family":"Coleman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Case Western Reserve University  Cleveland Ohio USA"},{"name":"Center on Trauma and Adversity  Cleveland Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0033786"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","volume-title":"The new Jim crow: Mass incarceration in the age of colorblindness","author":"Alexander M.","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10826\u2010017\u20100947\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ssmph.2021.100798"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","unstructured":"Bloom S.
