Engaging with Fathers: A Vital Half-Day Online Training for Better Outcomes
The role of fathers in child protection often goes unnoticed, and this oversight can be detrimental to the child’s development and emotional well-being. Distorted narratives driven by media and misconceptions, such as fathers “don’t care,” contribute to poor outcomes for children. Supporting only one parent in an ongoing unresolved parental conflict is unlikely to yield positive results.
Target Audience
This programme is designed for anyone working to safeguard children or engaged directly with families. It will benefit professionals across the board, from children’s services and schools to healthcare, mental health, and the voluntary sector.
Learning Objectives
In this enlightening half-day session, practitioners will navigate their reservations and learn to engage proactively with both parents, helping fathers make positive changes to benefit their children. The outcomes of this training include:
- Understanding how to approach conflict through a Trauma Lens, making interactions more informed and empathetic.
- Exploring the complexities of relationships and challenging preconceived language and judgments – e.g., men as perpetrators, women as victims.
- Educating mothers about the immense benefits of involving fathers in their child’s upbringing.
- Recognising and incorporating the strengths of fathers into your working approach.
- Linking thoughts and feelings to behaviour, offering a comprehensive understanding of actions and reactions.
- Empowering practitioners to explore their own beliefs and how these may impact their professional interactions.
- Supporting fathers in understanding how unresolved trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) inform current behaviours.
- Promoting effective communication between fathers and their children is essential for healthy relationships and positive child development.
