On July 12, 2022, ACF convened a third Responsible Fatherhood (RF) technical work group for the FRAMING Research project. The group included researchers and practitioners with expertise in RF programming and/or serving young fathers. This brief describes the discussion at the meeting, which focused on fostering trust among fathers who participate in RF programs and recruiting and retaining young fathers in services. These topics emerged from the project team’s review of the relevant literature and discussions with ACF about agency priorities. The day concluded with technical work group members participating in a brainstorming session on research priorities related to RF programming for fostering trust among fathers and serving young fathers.
