The Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Department for Income Support, Child Support Enforcement Division in partnership with the
Commonwealth Center for Fathers & Families (CCFF), and other collaborating
agencies, joined forces to convene the 2022 Kentucky Fatherhood Summit on
October 11– 12, 2022. The resounding theme of the gathering was "HEALTHY
FATHER-HEALHTY FAMILIES."
CCFF is provided resources and key leadership in the collective coordination of
the 2022 Kentucky Fatherhood Summit. The program included 2 keynotes, sector-specific subject matter and table conversations to
help further the learning and understanding of how we build a “Fatherhood State
of Mind” and a network of fatherhood supporters and advocates. Over the years,
this group has endured and maintained. The plan is for 2023 to only get bigger
and better.
