Our MOM PAT team is so proud of Miguelson Joseph, one of the fathers participating in the program, who attended the “Uniting to Strengthen Supports for Families and Communities” 2026 Pennsylvania Strengthening Families Conference held on May 5–7, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he served as the only father on the parent panel.

During the conference, Miguelson shared his experience about the impact of the MOM Program on his family. He spoke about becoming more involved in his children’s learning and development and reflected on the program’s positive influence on his family. He also shared that participating in home visits and family activities provided him with practical strategies to support his child at home and strengthened his connection with his family.
