FamiliesFirst24 challenges this current culture by showing a different way. We offer support and training to help men to make the choices that will give them the right work/life balance and enrich their family life.
We believe that the most important job that anyone can have is being a parent. Unfortunately, that has not been recognised and affirmed for more than the last fifty years!
We live in a culture where STATUS and FINANCIAL REWARD are the main drivers in most career decisions, often these result in a dangerous work/life balance for which the family often “pick up the tab”. Often the question that many who are caught in this trap ask is “what else can I do?” That is where FamiliesFirst24 can help!
We have heard from many men who have lost their job, which carried significant status and reward, only to secure one which gives a proper work/life balance. These jobs are usually of lower status and reward but, amazingly, there can be a twofold benefit, firstly an improvement in the Dad's health, both physical and mental, as well as a greater sense of well being for him. Secondly, for the family, which is likely to feel better off and the richer for the Dad being "present" and thus able to play his true part.
