In this episode of A Really Good Enough Parent podcast, my special guest is Howard Garval, MSW. Howard is the founder of Leaders 4 Futures, and the former President and CEO of Child & Family Service, in Honolulu. Howard is an experienced social worker and parent trainer, as well as a long-time advocate for under-served and marginalized children and families.

Howard started his career as a Spanish teacher, before realizing his true calling was in social work. After a good many years working in lower SES neighborhoods in Detroit, Cleveland, Boston, and Hartford, Howard moved into advocacy and administration. There Howard was able to lead larger organizations into the change areas he felt most impactful for the children and families in need.

Today Howard is enjoying semi-retirement, spending time with his grandchildren and working on his memoirs.
