VideoAudio
Course: #2562Level: Intermediate1 Hour
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.

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.
