Children with involved fathers experience stronger developmental foundations and lower risks for poor outcomes, such as academic challenges, justice system involvement, substance use, and infant mortality. However, fathers with substance use disorders (SUD) who are also involved with child welfare often experience organizational practices and procedures designed for mothers. This webinar: Explores the importance of engaging fathers Offers attendees practical strategies to overcome common barriers to engagement in child welfare, SUD treatment, and court services Demonstrates how these efforts strengthen family support systems and lead to improved outcomes—such as increased reunification, reduced risk of future maltreatment allegations, and shorter stays in foster care The session will provide strategies to fully integrate fathers into services while increasing safety factors for children and families affected by substance use and child welfare involvement. Attendees will: Recognize the importance of: 1) including fathers in child welfare and treatment case planning, and 2) promoting father-child relationships Learn effective strategies to engage fathers in treatment and services Identify ways to promote father engagement within child welfare, SUD treatment, and court systems Meet our presenter: Robert Rosenhaus, MSW, Center for Children and Family Futures Senior Program Associate, Regional Partnership Grants Program
