THEME: UNDERSTANDING FATHERS
The theme for the 27th annual OCFR conference, Celebrating Families:
Understanding Fathers, was selected to develop a better understanding of
the role of fathers in family relationships. The conference will pay
particular attention to the different types of families and the roles of
fathers within the family along with implications for research, policy,
and practice. Additionally, the importance of involving fathers through
engagement, accessibility, and responsibility and the impact of this
upon families will be emphasized. The conference program is designed to
address a balance of academic, research, application, and policy
interests with a theme that is broad enough to capture a variety of
topics relating to families of all forms and family members at any age
or stage.
