This webinar is designed to elevate fathers’ mental health as a core prevention and family well-being strategy, recognizing that fathers’ emotional health, identity, and connection to their children are critical protective factors for families. Participants will deepen their understanding of how structural stressors, such as economic insecurity, systemic racism, involvement with child welfare or the justice system, and unresolved trauma, shape fathers’ mental health and engagement with services.
