National Family Support Technical Assistance Center

Join the National Family Support TAC twice in June for two events focused on fathers today who may face challenges as a parent or caregivers. You’ll meet two remarkable fathers providing significant support, inspiration, and resources for dads, grandfathers, caregivers, and father role models across the country.

Connection is especially critical for fathers and caregivers for a child of any age experiencing mental health and/or substance use, behavioral health issues, special needs, or many other challenges. It can be isolating, and both events are a place for every dad, parent, or caregiver in need of connection with others.

Whether you are a dad, grandfather, caregiver, or someone who simply wants to support a dad, everyone is welcome.

“Father to Father” June 7th – 8:00pm ET | 7:00pm CT | 5:00pm PT

George Fleming and Nelson Rascon return on June 7th for “Father to Father,” an open conversation led by two fathers and leaders in the movement to empower other fathers through education, peer support, and advocacy. For any father or caregiver who wondered if they are the “only one going through this,” it’s designed for any dad to connect Father to Father.

Topics may include:

• Father Friendly Engagement
• Expanding Male Peer Support
• Creating Father-Friendly Environments
• Support for Justice-involved Fathers
• Fathers with Mental Health and/or Substance Use Lived Experience
• Reducing Barriers for Fathers
• Prioritizing Child Wellness
• Everyone Thrives

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Understand the difference between “being” a father and the concept of fathering and fatherhood.
• Learn how to find support for those who lacked role models growing up, were unable to parent their children, or how to connect with other fathers.
• Acceptance factor: Fathers and caregivers will better understand how to strengthen the role of fathers in raising children throughout their lifespan.
