father-engagement

"Father absence... is an American problem that crosses racial, ethnic, and class lines. All across the United States, fathers are quietly disappearing from the lives of their children" (A Statement from the Morehouse Conference on African American Fathers. 1999. Morehouse Research Institute and the Institute for American Values). Engaging fathers in Head Start and Early Head Start is critical to school readiness and our society.

***

The Responsible Fatherhood Engagement Institute: A Systematic Approach will explore engaging fathers in management systems and all Head Start service areas. We will examine approaches and strategies to engage incarcerated fathers and non-custodial fathers, as well as the woman’s role in engaging fathers. Participants will be engaged in a variety of training approaches designed to address all learning styles, such as small and large group work, case study examinations, and more. This will be a fun-filled, thought-provoking institute delivered by trainers who have real-world experience in navigating fatherhood challenges.
