Fathers’ mental health, family involvement, and well-being are essential to the health of everyone in the family. Approaches that are tailored to support the mental health of fathers and improve their engagement with their partner/co-parent and child can have lasting benefits for the child’s development and family health. This webinar explores how to best support the family system by learning about the unique experiences of fathers, appropriate screening tools and interventions, and the impact of the father on the family.
