A GLOBAL HEALTH EPIDEMIC: FATHERLESSNESS
Globally, what are we doing as a society to strengthen families? How do those who live in this world deny support for our most precious resource & our future—our children? #Fatherlessness is a global #healthepidemic. Why after twenty years, are we not improving outcomes for children by increasing opportunities for both parents to fully enjoy, live and love in the present with their children for a healthier world? Jaketra Bryant, LPC took time to interview Chief Executive Officer and President of Fathers & Families Coalition of America, Inc., James Rodríguez into the studio for the Family MiX Mondays broadcast.
Millions of boys and girls grow into adulthood feeling a sense of loss with their fathers’ absence and a feeling of “no one loves me.” However, we can shift this epidemic that impacts children, parents, families and communities by investing into those who work with youth and parents daily. Herbert Gayle, Ph.D., study on the wellness of children reports a known truth that “What seems to be severely lacking in the lives of the children is their fathers’ presence and stabilizing function,” however, together we can make a difference. Fathers & Families Coalition of America’s national and internationally attended conference provides some of the needed skills and techniques to reduce fatherlessness and the associated poor outcomes for children and take the reins of championing #family-life & #fatherhood. Fathers & Families Coalition of America is advancing the needs of future innovators & leaders to be moved into their purpose
