Working to promote the economic & social well-being of children, families, and communities.LATEST FROM THE FAMILY ROOM BLOG
As students begin their summer break, the U.S. Departments of Education (ED) and Health and Human Services (HHS) come together to highlight the significant work that American educators and child welfare professionals have done to support students in foster care; to provide information about resources available for schools to support students in foster care; and to provide information about federal collaboration and efforts in this space.
Honoring Fathers
ACF celebrates men who provide positive values and guidance for children to grow up to be healthy, productive, and responsible adults. Research has shown that children who have fathers involved in their lives are more psychologically and emotionally balanced and tend to have better social skills, higher grades, and stronger parenting skills when they start their own families.
