The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proud to announce the launch of “Be A Good Dad Today,” a new media campaign developed by its National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) in partnership with the Ad Council.
The campaign centers on rural fathers who have navigated recovery, loss, and hardship — and found their way back to their families. The first PSA features Zach, a father whose journey through recovery led to family reunification. In his own words: “I’ve been blessed with a second chance. Now my family comes first.”
