This paper describes innovative, couples group education and support programs in Oklahoma and California, funded by child welfare and child abuse prevention and treatment monies, that aim to strengthen parent-couple relationships and enhance fathers’ involvement in low-income families. Rigorous evaluations of these programs have documented promising results. In this discussion paper, we make the case that this approach can provide a powerful new resource to use for child welfare families across the spectrum of child welfare services. In addressing the multiple challenges of child abuse and neglect, Child Welfare agencies rely heavily on parenting programs and anger management programs, but co-parenting and father engagement interventions have generally been neglected.
