Policy decisions made at the federal, state, and local levels directly affect the well-being of fathers, their children and families. Policies may support the engagement of fathers with their children or make it more difficult for fathers to be the parents, partners, and providers they want to be. In this webinar, we will highlight research addressing fathers’ circumstances and the challenges they face, and discuss implications for policymaking across levels of government. Panelists will offer their perspectives on, and share their experience with, the development of public policy to support engaged fatherhood and help families thrive.
This webinar is co-produced with the Wisconsin Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board.
