Presenting our keynote speaker

 Raymond Levy PsyD

 Clinical Psychologist, Founder & Director, The Fatherhood Project Mass General Hospital, Psychiatry, Boston, MA

 Dr. Levy has been a Clinical Psychologist at Mass General Hospital, Boston, for 29 years and founded The Fatherhood Project in 2013. He has edited two books on psychotherapy research and more recently, articles and a chapter about fatherhood and fatherhood research with Dr. Milton Kotelchuck. Dr. Levy is the proud father of two adopted adult children and has made fatherhood central to his life.

Fathers were once thought of as "the forgotten parent," and fatherhood as a critically important topic has not been taken seriously in academia, health communities, social policy, obstetrical clinical practice, or business until recent decades. Now, in public health, federal funding, programmatic initiatives, and research worlds, more attention is being paid to fathers as a central component of family life, including their frontline caretaking functions and their economic contribution to children and families.
