In today’s episode, we talk about the important role fathers play in family strengthening. Ed Davies, Director of Community and Family Engagement at Children’s Home & Aid, joins us to talk about Children Home & Aid’s past and present work with fathers, the significant barriers fathers in our programs face, and the similarities and differences working with fathers throughout the state.
