Description

FatherhoodFLAME Conversation will bring father-serving providers and advocates together in an energizing, collaborative forum. Having an involved, loving father is a key factor in children’s well-being. That’s why Action for Children is hosting a dynamic event on December 10, 2021 that will bring together father- and family-serving providers, advocates and community members. Focusing the Fatherhood FLAME Community Conversations hosted by Action for Children will be an energizing, collaborative event for people who are engaged in helping fathers become great dads. The event will feature fatherhood experts, facilitated group discussions about local solutions, and the opportunity to network with other community members working toward family well-being. Studies have shown that children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem and exhibit pro-social behavior compared to children with uninvolved fathers. Additionally, more engaged fathers—whether living with or apart from their children—can help foster a child's healthy physical, emotional and social development. The Focusing the Fatherhood FLAME Community Conversations event will discuss: • Healthy Masculinity • Coming through the Pandemic-What’s Next? • Women in Fatherhood • Networking, Collaborating and Moving Forward as a Fatherhood Coalition
