“Welcome the Father”: Strengthening Father Inclusive Practices
April 17 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm CDT
National Federation of Families
Today’s communities, families, and children have as much potential and promise as ever, yet it seems this potential is often thwarted or unrealized. Relatedly, family service providers face a host of challenges that seem to lie beyond the reach of the approaches, methods, and structures we have enlisted to date. This session will discuss the large-scale change to child and family well-being approaches that will require a shift from antiquated models that remain focused on the intervention for individuals to more comprehensive coordination. This necessary shift toward father-inclusive approaches will be expressed, mainly through existing efforts in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to address and increase the protective factors of positive fatherhood engagement.
