Description:
The default family paradigm that still prevails in most social service settings typically focuses on the family as “a mother and her children.” This emphasis tends to relegate fathers to a diminished role, marginalizing their potential and their importance. We invite you to learn about The Supporting Father Involvement Program (SFI) (link is external), a clinical and research intervention by the team of Drs. Philip A. Cowan, Carolyn Pape Cowan, Marsha Kline Pruett, and Kyle D. Pruett, MD. A statewide dissemination effort of SFI in California was conducted and international replications are underway in Alberta, Canada and London and other cities of the U.K.
