Why Flame?
Studies have shown that children with involved, loving fathers are significantly more likely to do well in school, have healthy self-esteem and exhibit pro-social behavior compared to children with uninvolved fathers. Additionally, more engaged fathers—whether living with or apart from their children—can help foster a child's healthy physical, emotional and social development.
Having an involved, loving father is a key factor in children’s well-being. That’s why MBKGRVA is hosting a dynamic event on December 14, 2021, that will bring together father and family-serving providers, advocates, and community members.
This FREE event will take place on December 14, 2021, at the Embassy Suites located at 2925 Emerywood Parkway, Richmond, VA 23294.

Focusing the Fatherhood FLAME is an initiative of the Office of Family Assistance, under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families. FLAME (Family, Leadership, Affirming Marriage, and Employment) Community Conversations are energizing, collaborative events that convene local father-serving providers, advocates and community members.
These events explore why fathers’ involvement matters so much, how to create father-friendly services and how community members can empower dads to thrive.
