This workshop is part 2 of a 3 part series on Fatherhood. You can find part 1 here and part 3 here. While attending all three workshops is not required, it is highly recommended for the best experience.

Research on child development and child psychology has historically and reasonably focused on the importance of mothers during early childhood. Over the last two decades research has expanded and demonstrated that children benefit from father involvement during the earliest stages in fetal development and beyond. This talk will explore the research regarding father involvement during early childhood and the biological changes of fathers that are involved in their newborns’ lives. A reflective and experiential approach will be used to explore the research findings and participants will be invited to engage in a conversation on cultural perspectives regarding father involvement during early childhood.
