Join MFFN for our 6th annual winter conference for professionals working in fatherhood programs, early childhood settings, public health, government agencies, and related family/social service organizations.

The 2009 theme will focus on healthy masculinity with keynotes by various noted speakers including Dr. Christopher Kilmartin, a college professor, author, stand-up comedian, actor, playwright, consultant and professional psychologist. Kilmartin is a Professor of Psychology at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, VA. His major scholarly book is The Masculine Self. He also wrote a manual titled Sexual Assault in Context: Teaching College Men about Gender and he co-wrote The Pain behind the Mask: Overcoming Masculine Depression. In his spare time, Dr. Kilmartin is a professional stand-up comedian, and he has written a solo performance theatre piece on men's issues entitled Crimes Against Nature. Dr. Kilmartin has also been involved in national leadership of the White Ribbon Campaign, a grass-roots effort to decrease men's violence against women.
