What is the NEFC?
The NEFC is a multi-day conference that brings speakers, trainers and program staff and participants in from around the country to address topics related to fathering; co-parenting, child-support, child welfare, spirituality, men’s health, education, healthy relationships, vocational supports, legal supports, and all of the other experiences that come with being an involved father. For more information on the NEFC including dates and offerings for this year’s NEFC visit their website at www.nefatheringconference.org
Why is this conference
opportunity unique?
Each year the NEFC actively recruits fatherhood practitioners and program fathers from around New England to share their stories and ideas on improving our work with fathers in our own communities. Staff members from our program will have an opportunity to gather direct and relevant resources that will help them serve fathers and families more effectively when they return. Program fathers may have never had the opportunity to attend a professional conference of this caliber and will make new social connections and become mentors and supports for our staff to continue their work once home.
Who will benefit from our
attendance at this conference?
Year after year the organizers of the NEFC have received positive feedback on the nationally recognized speakers/instructors that provide direction and inspiration to staff of programs such as ours and directly to the fathers we serve. Those who have attended bring home the healthy and positive messages of involving fathers in their work, striving to make lasting change for the fathers and families they serve. Your support in this mission will improve outcomes for the fathers and families and the work that is inspired by the NEFC will result in happier, healthier children in our community.
