Father Involvement and Social Support

This Spotlight is from the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse, which is sponsored through the Office of Family Assistance, Administration for Children and Families. Authors report on the latest data that finds fathers who report having high levels of social support experience better psychological well-being and demonstrate more positive patterns of father involvement and co-parenting. The benefits of fathers’ social support may also have important implications for child and family well-being.
