C7 What About Dad??
Rosalio (Leo) Chavoya; Roger De Leon
How are fathers treated in your agency? Child welfare
and juvenile probation are required to work with parents of children to create
a safe environment for their children. Often; the work is done with the mother;
and the efforts to engage the father fade away or are simply less. Does your
agency do that? Are the children and youth you work with getting the benefit of
their fathers? Is there an unspoken bias to prioritize moms? Hear from dads who
have been in the system and are now working hard to make sure agencies are
attuned to the needs of fathers. Go dads!
