Moynihan Institute for Fatherhood Research and Policy Project Synopsis
"I have three daughters. It's been a super rewarding experience to nurture my girls and see them be successful in all their endeavors."
This seminar is about encouraging and equipping men to have a long-term impact on their children and family.
Dr. Shears is a highly sought after speaker who has been a keynote speaker and conference presenter. His topics include “7 skills of an effect father,” “Dads and daughters”, “Why fathers are important in the lives of children”, and “Effective Co-parenting”.
Many agencies and staff that work with families are much more comfortable interacting with mothers and children. However, to be more impactful with families, agency staff need to be able to work with men in these families. Dr. Shears provides a one day training that helps to increase an agencies capacity to work with fathers. This training has successfully impacted how agencies work with fathers and has increased the knowledge and improved the attitudes on working with men in families.
