Fathers Forever

10/14/2026

Strong families begin with intentional engagement, and fathers have an important role in shaping the next generation.

We’re excited to share that Dr. Glen Warren, Executive Director of Fathers Forever, will be presenting at the 2026 NC Head Start Association Male Engagement Conference!

The session, “You Can’t Teach What You Were Never Taught: Helping Fathers Build a New Legacy,” will explore the importance of equipping fathers with the tools, support, and encouragement needed to build stronger relationships and create lasting change for their families.

We know that when fathers are supported, families and communities are strengthened.

📍 Hickory, North Carolina
📅 October 21–23, 2026

We look forward to being part of these important conversations!

The summit may be over, but the conversation is far from finished! 🎙️

Last week, we gathered in Cumberland County for our **Bring Him All the Way Home Summit**, bringing together voices from across the community for meaningful conversations about fatherhood, family, and the work still ahead.

To everyone who joined us in person, THANK YOU! Your presence and participation helped make this gathering impactful.

This week on Chat N Chew, we're looking back at the summit, reflecting on the conversations, the connections, and why this work matters.

Because bringing fathers all the way home takes more than one event. It takes continued conversations, collaboration, and commitment.

A few more moments from last week’s Bring Him All the Way Home Summit in Cumberland County.

Every conversation, every connection, and every person in the room reminded us why this work matters.

When we come together to address the challenges fathers face, we create opportunities for stronger families, healthier relationships, and lasting change in our communities.

We’re grateful for everyone who showed up, shared their perspective, and helped move this important conversation forward.

The summit was one day. The impact is what we continue to build together.

Fatherhood is more than a role. It’s an opportunity to shape a life.

When fathers are present, supported, and equipped to lead, the impact reaches far beyond one household. It strengthens relationships, builds confidence in children, and creates a foundation for healthier families and communities.

Yet fatherhood remains one of the most overlooked opportunities for meaningful change.

At Fathers Forever, we believe investing in fathers means investing in the future of our children. Every father deserves the opportunity to grow, reconnect, and become the father his children need.

Because when we strengthen fathers, we strengthen families. And when families grow stronger, communities do too.

What a powerful day in Cumberland County!

The Bring Him All the Way Home Summit brought together community leaders, advocates, and partners for meaningful conversations about fatherhood, reentry, and the work it takes to truly restore families.

Thank you to every speaker, panelist, partner, and attendee who showed up ready to listen, learn, and be part of the solution.

The conversations may have started in the room, but the work continues beyond it.

Every father restored. Every family strengthened. Every community transformed.

Connecting.
And asking what we can do differently.

You can be doing everything you’re supposed to do and still be numb.

Showing up. Handling your responsibilities. Going through the motions. But what happens when you’ve been strong for so long that you stop feeling?

This conversation goes there.
