2023 - 2024: Supporting Fathers Towards Whole Family Health: Screening in Context pilot. This pilot promotes family child health by identifying, referring and treating fathers withe mental health struggles in home visiting.
Notable Current Projects
In 2019, Love, Dad was founded when Kevin Gruenberg, PsyD, and Richard Cohen, Ph.D. recognized the need to include fathers in home visiting services which often focus on children and their mothers. By including all parents, these services could realize the benefits of the whole family approach, including parental mental health, family stability, and child wellbeing.

History & Approach
Individuals working directly with children and families have the skills, knowledge, and dispositions needed to include and support all family members, especially those historically excluded from or underserved by family services.
Families Struggle Together
Love, Dad increases the capacity of organizations and individuals working directly with families; develops and disseminates practices that support whole family development; and advocates for local, state, and national system and policy changes that improve services for families.
In a family, no one is well until all are well
Families benefit most when all parents — including fathers — are actively involved in the care and development of their children. Many systems and services that serve families focus on just one parent. They are missing opportunities to support all parents in gaining competence and confidence.
