This webinar, held in recognition of Father’s Day, highlights the experiences and contributions of fathers during the perinatal period. We always hear about services and programs for the expecting mother but almost never hear about the expecting father and the role he plays during and after pregnancy. This presentation will look at the important role men play before, during, and after pregnancy. From daddy weight gain, to helping minimize mom's stress, the expecting father plays a huge role in the overall health and wellbeing of mom and baby.
From this webinar, participants will be able to:
Recognize the unique experiences and mental health challenges of expecting and new fathers.
Describe the role fathers play in supporting maternal mental health and infant well-being during the perinatal period.
Identify ways to engage and support fathers as active participants in perinatal care and family wellness.
