“Engaging Fathers – Putting Lessons Into Practice” is a three-part series to share strategies implemented from three of the five State or county agencies: Los Angeles County, California; Hartford, Connecticut; and Prowers County, Colorado. Part one focuses on the strategies developed within Hartford, Connecticut.

Topics discussed include the following:

-The benefits of including community partners and fatherhood advocates in Connecticut’s improvement team

-Why Connecticut chose multiple, small strategies over a single, large-scale strategy to address fatherhood engagement

-Successful strategies to impact agency-wide culture and thinking about engaging fathers in daily child welfare practice
