Millions of U.S. children have experienced separation from a parent for reasons including parental incarceration, child welfare intervention, job demands, or military deployment. Separation can have profound effects for children, fathers, and families as a whole. This webinar will explore the consequences of separations and strategies to support fathers and their families in sustaining and reestablishing relationships surrounding separation.

This webinar is co-produced with the Wisconsin Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board.
