Join us for a day and a half of inspiration, healing, and empowerment focused on Black Fathers. This event will address the challenges they face in their involvement in their children's lives, from prenatal care and beyond. It will explore culturally sensitive approaches that uplift fathers, featuring engaging workshops, powerful speakers, and networking opportunities with individuals from diverse backgrounds interested in the topic.
At this conference called “Groundbreaking and Visionary,” you can expect engaging workshops, powerful speakers, and networking opportunities to connect with national and local educators and community practitioners and learn from each other. This conference is open to all individuals working with or in the African American community or interested in the topic. Register today to secure your spot.
