Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I am a doctoral student, graduate research fellow, as well as the primary assessor on Dad2K, a father-specific child maltreatment prevention program. Dad2K is a technologically enhanced module of SafecareŽ, which utilizes technology to facilitate the learning of positive parenting skills.
