While maternal perinatal and postpartum care has been a focus in recent years in research. Fathers are frequently allowed to live out of the spotlight. Research is suggesting that father’s mental health has a significant effect on a child during the postpartum period. Fathers are also likely to develop clinically significant mental health issues during this life transition. Engaging fathers during this period is important and we are going to explore what supports appear to help them more than others.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this training series attendees will be able to:
1. Name two methods of supporting fathers in engaging in their own mental health support
2. Identify one supportive approach to engaging in mental health support of himself and his partner
3. Reflect on reasons why fathers are frequently forgotten in therapy, and why they deny their personal needs in the name of supporting their children and partner.
