Fatherhood, parental collaboration, and mental health

New parents face significant life changes that challenge their personal social lives and mental health. For approximately 4 years (2021-2024), Olov Aronson has conducted research collaborations with researchers at Karolinska Institutet to explore how new fathers experience the first years of their children's lives. The project has investigated the types of professional support new fathers seek and the types of professional support that contribute to improved mental health among new fathers. The development of relationships between new fathers and new mothers has also been examined.
