Fathers play an essential role in children’s lives. But for family service providers, engaging meaningfully with fathers can mean rethinking many of the basic assumptions behind delivering services and supports for families.
By bringing fathering researchers, practitioners, and policy makers together, the Father Involvement Network of BC (FIN-BC) creates the opportunities for the development of innovative practices that are grounded in research and evidence.
