2 CECs
6 pm – 8 pm (ET)

This webinar explores the intersection of neurodivergence, trauma, racial inequity, and fatherhood, equipping social workers, educators, clinicians, and family service professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively support neurodivergent fathers and fathers raising neurodivergent children. Using a strength-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive framework, the session challenges traditional interpretations of behavior and helps participants develop practical, inclusive, and actionable engagement strategies.

This webinar reframes neurodivergence as a social-justice issue, highlighting how undiagnosed traits, systemic bias, and misunderstanding contribute to father disengagement and poor family outcomes.

Learning objectives:

Explore the core neurodiversity concepts including distinctions between neurodivergent, neurotypical, and neurodiversity terminology 

Understand the insight into how trauma, poverty, racism, and systemic inequity intersect with neurodivergence, particularly for fathers of color 

Develop strategies to recognize and support undiagnosed neurodivergence in fathers who may present as angry, resistant, disengaged, or noncompliant.
