Impact of Father Involvement and Positive Parenting on Child Mental Health
The influence of father positive parenting and involvement on children's mental health outcomes is underexplored in many sub-Saharan African countries, such as Uganda, despite research showing that fathers play a critical role in shaping their children's mental and emotional health outcomes.

The current phenomenological needs assessment was conducted to understand this unique adjustment experience within a long-term resettled Liberian community in the U.S. Semi-structured interviews with 20 key informants (e.g., community leaders, professional individuals and entities) and three focus groups with 20 Liberian community members sought to und…
