Quality/Calidad/Qualité no. 19. The newest issue of Q/C/Q profiles the AÇEV Father Support Program, a series of 13-week long support groups for fathers across Turkey. The program has reached nearly 10,000 men, teaching them about their role in the development of their children and encouraging them to spend quality time with their children.
