The Together for Families Conference 2024, co-hosted by the National Family Support Network, Center for the Study of Social Policy, Families Canada, and Family Resource Centre National Forum (Ireland), promises to be an unmissable event for professionals across the globe. This international gathering will explore cutting-edge strategies, best practices, and innovative solutions to support families and strengthen communities. "This is the fourth Together for Families Conference, and I'm thrilled to unite the family support field once again," says Julie Matusick, a Senior Manager at the National Family Support Network. "It's an amazing opportunity to explore innovative practices and policies, focus on integrating family voice and leadership, and discuss ways to reduce families' involvement with the child welfare system."

Dynamic Plenary Sessions: Exploring Key Issues in Family Support

This year's plenary sessions will feature discussions on key issues in family support. Highlights include the Fatherhood Fireside Chat, where Drew Soleyn, Gregory Cox, and other panelists will explore the realities of fatherhood, and Family Support Then and Now, where Dr. Carmel Devaney will examine the evolution of family support from an international perspective. Junlei Li will present on Early Relational Health, emphasizing the importance of small, everyday moments in building healthy relationships. Lastly, the Engaging At Every Age plenary will showcase the benefits of intergenerational child care programs, presented by José Alejandro Fernandez Cruz and Molly Jones.

Interactive Workshops: Practical Tools and Innovative Approaches

The conference will also feature expert-led workshops on Evaluation Strategies in State Network Development, Parent Leadership Development, and Fathers, Father Figures, and Family Resource Centers. Participants will gain actionable insights from voices from the field such as Kathleen Apperson, Tecoria Jones, and Christopher Brown, equipping them with practical tools to apply in their own programs and communities.

Networking Opportunities: Building Global Connections

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with professionals worldwide on topics such as advancing diversity and equity, engaging fathers and male caregivers, supporting refugee families, and trauma-informed care.
