We want to thank Drs. Kyle C. Ashlee, Keith Edwards, Mollie Monahan-Kreishman for joining our panel and sharing their insights and strategies. Also, a special thanks goes to our board member, Dr. Lawrence Chatters for moderating.
As a Fathering Together community, we believe it is imperative that we engage in difficult topics like this so that we have the tools and language to contextualize these moments for our children. We know these topics are not easy. They are nuanced, complex, and not everyone’s lived experience is the same. But, if we do not engage, the imperfect systems will never have a chance to be deconstructed and rebuilt.
For more information on our panelists, check out the following:
