The Importance of Fatherhood<br />
<strong>TFI</strong> <strong>Family</strong> <strong>Services</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. hosted its second Fatherhood Symposium at the<br />
Topeka Capitol Plaza Hotel in Spring 2012. Child welfare professionals,<br />
judges and foster parents from across Kansas participated in a day<br />
geared to the importance of fatherhood in the lives of children. “On<br />
average, children in foster care return home sooner when they have a<br />
relationship with their fathers,” said Michael Patrick, <strong>TFI</strong>’s CEO. “We<br />
believe our commitment to involving fathers in their children’s lives is<br />
one of the factors that has contributed to fulfilling our mission, ‘Devoted<br />
to the Strength of <strong>Family</strong>.’” The day included workshops, speakers and<br />
segments of personal testimony and individual growth experiences from<br />
both former foster care children and fathers whose children have entered<br />
the child welfare system.<br />
