RESEARCH

FFHC conducts, tracks, and collects empirical and applied research allowing for a better understanding of ways to improve father and male engagement/involvement. This aids us in understanding the social service practices, governmental policies, and public opinion barriers to the positive contributions that fathers can make in the lives of their children and within their families and communities
