First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a 12-session online group therapy program called CARE, designed to help male caregivers (such as fathers) better understand their own and their child's feelings. Seven male-identifying caregivers of children receiving mental health services will participate. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helpful for reducing parenting stress and improving the parent-child relationship.
