We reviewed Dr. Juan Carlos Areán’s insightful presentation from the 2022 Fatherhood Summit and had question and answer session with him. In the session he identifies approaches that fatherhood programs can take to help prevent and address intimate partner violence among fathers. He discusses the challenges, successes, and promising practices in fatherhood programs providing IPV-related services. The session also included practical strategies and tips to help fatherhood programs improve their efforts and strengthen connections with partner organizations.
