DAY 3 – Paternally Yours | Help Me Grow, DC Health

January 18, 2021

DAY 3 PANEL 3: Paternally Yours Help Me Grow, DC Health Speakers: Todd A. Elliott, MSW; Omotunde Sowole-West, MPH Description: There is no denying that children, particularly in the early stages of life benefit from interactions from both their mother and father.

“Paternally Yours” seeks to provide supports in the case of traditional fathers, co-parenting situations, father-figures, grandfathers and/or male caregivers.

We will explore how service coordination can help encourage dialogue, familial supports, and dispel the notion that paternal health factors are not important in maternal conversations of wellness.

Theme(s): Family Supports, Fatherhood, Opioid/Substance Use
