While there has not been ample research related to paternal mental health, there has been enough anecdotal evidence to establish that fathers experience perinatal depression. With a significant call to serve Latino immigrant families, fathers present with a necessity for clinical interventions. Furthermore, there are many cultural norms, socio-political, and economic barriers that influence recognition of paternal depression and access to culturally appropriate services. This course reviews various cultural beliefs and socioeconomic barriers that prevent identification and treatment. Finally, there will be a discussion about potentially effective and non-traditional approaches to working with Latino fathers.
