Fatherhood and Domestic Violence Webcast Series & Resources

How can fatherhood be used to meaningfully engage people who use violence?

Juan Carlos Areán and Wendy Mota explore this topic in a series of pre-recorded webcasts presented by Promising Futures and the Quality Improvement Center on Domestic Violence in Child Welfare (QIC-DVCW). These 3 webcasts present new resources for the field, including a framework for creating relational and systemic accountability with people who use violence, recommendations for responsible fatherhood programs based on a recent study, and a brand-new workbook for fathers who have used violence and want to change their behavior.

This series is intended to help viewers:

• Incorporate new strategies for engaging people who use violence into their work. 
• Develop a practice that balances legal and non-legal consequences with support for positive change for people who use violence.
• Use the power of fatherhood to motivate abusive partners to change their behavior.
