Families First Presents Workshop at 10th Annual International Fatherhood Conference
The National Partnership for Community Leadership held its 10th Annual International Fatherhood Conference June 10-13th in Washington DC. The goal of the conference is to build strong family relationships, and this year's theme: "Reconnecting Fathers to Families: At Home & Abroad" emphasized the need to educate the world about the importance of responsible fatherhood.
Dr. Gerry White and Freddie Wilson represented Families First at the conference and presented a workshop entitled "Quantitative Study of Factors that Impact Parental Involvement Among African American Unwed Fathers." This workshop identified key factors associated with father involvement through programmatic and research findings. It also provided specific strategies for assisting fathers with improving involvement, and detailed how responsible fatherhood involvement is multi-dimensional.
