It is highly encouraged for the workshop to tie into the theme of the conference.  Presenters are recommended to provide insight and information related to enhancing the abilities of organizations and practitioners to effectively provide services to fathers of diverse backgrounds, such as, issues regarding health, education, religion, cultural diversity, justice system, grandfathers raising  grandchildren, fathers with children with special needs, foster fathers, incarcerated fathers, and more. FFCA is also seeking workshops that provide information that can be transferred into practice and expanding the overall abilities of organizations into best practices.
