This training is designed to provide professionals with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to effectively engage system-involved fathers. Participants will learn about the common challenges faced by system-involved fathers, barriers to father engagement, the impact of lack of father involvement on children, and effective strategies for outreach and recruitment. Participants will also learn how to build trust with fathers and families, communicate effectively with fathers, empower fathers to be involved in their children's lives, and identify and connect fathers with resources and support. Case studies and success stories of effective father engagement programs will be discussed, and participants will have the opportunity to develop an action plan for improving father engagement in their own programs. The material will be delivered by PowerPoint presentation, short video clips, group discussion, breakout (small group) discussions and participant workbook (handout).
