How are you effectively engaging fathers? Join us to expand your understanding and views on how you engage fathers in your services. This session will discuss ways to effectively and meaningfully engage fathers in family services. Participants will not only learn the benefits of engaging fathers but will dive deep into strength-based engagement techniques for dads. Participants will walk away with excitement to engage dads in their services and practical ways to do so.
