Side-by-Side: Fatherhood Matters in the Early Years
February 28 to March 1, 2019 Ottawa, ON
(francais)
The 3rd Canadian National Fatherhood Conference hosted by Dad Central Canada is being planned for February 28 and March 1, 2019 in Ottawa Ontario.
We are pleased to announce that we have already confirmed Dr. Stuart Shanker as one of our keynotes!
The conference will call together workers, clinicians, practitioners, managers, and researchers from across Canada to present and share their work with fathers.
We are inviting submissions for 90 minute workshops and for poster presentations. Even though the focus of this conference is on the early years, we are looking for proposals on other issues facing men as parents, too.
This year’s conference will focus on things like:
- Prenatal experiences and support
- Early bonding and attachment
- Post-partum issues
- Mental health of the father, the family, and those around him
- Ways to support and encourage a diversity of male-caregiver roles such as grandfathers, step fathers, foster fathers and more Innovative services or programs for early years fatherhood
- Research into understanding the needs of early years fatherhood
The 3rd Canadian National Fatherhood Conference is for anyone interested in engaging fathers in their community with services, programs, or resources.
Our goal is to help you provide fathers with the knowledge and support needed around the healthy development of children.
