Session Description

Black children in the United States disproportionately experience early childhood adversity and toxic stress, which can lead to long-term negative physical and mental health outcomes. Mothers are traditionally enrolled in intervention programs to help address this while fathers typically are not. This presentation will highlight research focused on increasing the engagement of Black fathers in such programs to help improve outcomes for young Black children.

The learning objectives for this talk are to:

Discuss psychosocial strengths and stressors associated with Black fatherhood
Identify the benefits of Black fathers' positive engagement in the perinatal and early childhood periods
Describe strategies for conducting community-based participatory research and collaborative team science
