Reshaping Fatherhood: The Ripple Effects of an Absent Father

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Reshaping Fatherhood: The Ripple Effects of an Absent Father
Published: June 16, 2024 by VPR Producer

As Americans head out to brunch or a park to BBQ to celebrate Father’s Day this year, there are also millions who aren’t celebrating. Across the U.S., there are many adults who have a broken relationship with their father or grew up without a father figure in their life. We speak with nonprofit CEO Kenneth Braswell about the social service framework helping fathers and families and the improvements that need to be made to better support those in need. Divorce and family attorney Brad Kaye also shares how the legal system has evolved to better serve parents and ultimately do what’s best for children.
