About Our Father’s Feelings- Statewide Project Results Release
Our Father’s Feelings study provides fathers with clinical paternal depression screening, brief coaching and intervention, and warm hand-off referrals to clinical and other social and community outlets to fathers in the perinatal phase. In this Newsletter we explore the Father’s Feelings 2020-2022 Statewide Project- funded by the Ohio Children’s Trust Fund.
The Father’s Feelings project aims to support fathers in the perinatal phase by providing critical resources and interventions. By addressing paternal mental health and wellbeing, we strive to create a nurturing environment for both fathers and their families, fostering whole-family thriving and vitality.
We’re so excited to share these findings with our community, fostering collaboration and open dialogue to continue making a difference.
