Dr. Rufus Sylvester Lynch, Academy of Certified Social Workers Fatherist and Chair of the Strong Families Commission and Luisa Olivo-Wolf, Assistant Chief Program Officer for Community Progress Council, joined us on Friday’s Smart Talk to discuss the importance of fatherhood, obstacles and challenges fathers may face, and resources to help them.

Shootings involving children and teenagers have been on the rise in recent years, and 2021 is no exception.

Few school districts are requiring masks inside classrooms, something the Democratic governor said it needed to ensure safety.

This year, face masks are on most parents’ list of back-to-school supplies. But which ones are most effective? Here’s how to choose the right one for your child.

Families skipped or were restricted from opportunities to get their children’s routine shots last year. Now an overtaxed health care system is having difficulty getting them caught up.

School districts around the country have seen incidents of anti-mask parents and protesters disrupting school board meetings and school events, and some are getting physically violent.

Medicaid should provide these families with a nurse every night and five days of the week. However, due to the shortage of at-home nurses for pediatric patients, that’s not happening. 

The uncertainties about future funding are keeping a lot of day care centers from significantly raising wages, which would help them find workers.
