SUMMARY:“Welcome the Father”: Strengthening Father Inclusive Practices
DESCRIPTION:National Federation of Families \nToday’s communities\, families\, and children have as much potential and promise as ever\, yet it seems this potential is often thwarted or unrealized. Relatedly\, family service providers face a host of challenges that seem to lie beyond the reach of the approaches\, methods\, and structures we have enlisted to date. This session will discuss the large-scale change to child and family well-being approaches that will require a shift from antiquated models that remain focused on the intervention for individuals to more comprehensive coordination. This necessary shift toward father-inclusive approaches will be expressed\, mainly through existing efforts in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to address and increase the protective factors of positive fatherhood engagement. \nRegister here>>

SUMMARY:Bring Your IEP and Other School Questions
DESCRIPTION:Does your school ever call and ask you to come pick up your child who has an IEP because your child is upset? \nHas the school told you to take your child for an evaluation and not bring them back to school until you get an evaluation? \nDo you ever wonder if your child needs an IEP? Does your child have an IEP\, and you wonder whether or not it is working? \nIf you said yes to any of these questions\, or you have other questions about things going on in your child’s school\, then come join us. \nThis hour is open for any family member to drop in for all or some of the time to ask questions or get feedback about IEP issues and other school situations.

SUMMARY:The Family Room with Sue Badeau
DESCRIPTION: National Family Support Technical Assistance Center \nA Family Room is often defined as an “informal gathering place for all family members” or “a comfortable space.” We hope you find that here. \nParents\, caregivers\, and family members asked us for an interactive meeting to discuss issues and challenges within their families\, feelings of isolation\, and desire for more connection and resources. They also wanted a space to “dig deeper” on topics. \nThe “Family Room” is that space where parents\, caregivers\, and family members actively engage in an interactive discussion with one another\, ask questions\, and also share their solutions in an informal setting. \nNFSTAC’s Family Room is back on April 18th from 4:00 to 5:00 PM EDT (3:00 pm – 4:00 PM CDT). Sue Badeau\, an author\, trainer\, speaker\, and family peer expert with lived experience as the parent of 22 children\, will host the series. \nLast month’s attendees suggested our April conversation starter\, so Sue will discuss how we can support career development for our young adults. From there\, the rest of the discussion is up to everyone in the meeting. We invite you to turn on your cameras and participate to maximize engagement. Registration is limited to ensure a more personalized experience. \nRegister here>>
