Non-Resident Father Engagement and the Child Welfare System – Bringing Back the Dads

Non-Resident Father Engagement and the Child Welfare System – Bringing Back the Dads
Webinar Date/Time: Thursday, February 18, 2010, 2:00 p.m. EST

This American Humane webinar will focus on using Family Group Decision Making (FGDM) to engage absent fathers in the lives of children who are involved in the child welfare system. Participants will learn what literature and research have shown regarding how fathers interact with child welfare systems, how father involvement may benefit children’s overall well-being and how engaging fathers through FGDM can better connect them and paternal kin to their system-involved children. Participants will also learn practices that have enhanced the engagement process between child welfare practitioners and non-resident fathers.
