"Fathers Figured: Expanding Opportunities for Relationships"
|
|
|
|
|
Fathers are biologically primed to be parents, and research shows
|
that their involvement improves outcomes for children. Yet there are serious cultural, programmatic and personal barriers to involving them, particularly if they are fathers of color. We will explore why it is important and what it will take to shift from a dyadic- to a family-based model of care for families with young children.
|
- Participants will understand the importance of the roles fathers play.
- Participants will understand the prevalence and expressions of paternal depression.
- Participants will understand barriers to father involvement.
- Participants will explore their own predispositions in engaging with fathers.

Communities of Practice Committee
(formerly known as Clinical Interventions Committee)
|
|
The Clinical Interventions committee is excited to announce its new name - "Communities of Practice committee" We are hopeful that our new name is more welcoming and expresses our work's transdisciplinary nature, bringing people from across disciplines and around the state together for intimate and important conversations to support young children and their families.
|
Our upcoming event is a 2-part Conversations from the Field. This conversation, titled "Responsive Listening: When It's Hard" will be hosted by Kelsey Sillerud, LCSW, and Denise Bouzid, MS, TMHP. Participants will learn about the process of listening to strengthen sensitive relationships with practitioners and families.

Meet a CalAIMH Member
Lara Elfstrand, MA ECSE, CEIM, IF-ATMHP
|
|
|
Lara is a postpartum doula and a “new parent sanity specialist.” Rather than feeling
overwhelmed and depleted, she helps new parents to get their needs met so that they emerge through the transition to parenthood stronger and more whole, and they fall in love with parenting… together. Lara offers virtual and in-person postpartum doula services, classes, and coaching that take care of new parents. She serves the greater Auburn, Rocklin, Roseville and east Sacramento areas in person, and elsewhere virtually.

Lara used to read Nancy Drew books as a kid, and now her favorite thing to do is to be a “parent/child detective” to figure out what each family needs. For example, she remembers one sweet preschooler who loved to cut things but didn’t love to eat! So they washed and sanitized the preschool scissors and let him cut his food! Lara’s current favorite recipient of her detective skills is her 18-year-old dog, Brutus. She wonders if he has lived so long because of his stubbornness or hers! (Probably it’s both!) In addition, Lara plays a 5 stringed blue-green electric violin and speaks fluent Spanish - honestly because Vietnamese felt too far out of her “just right challenge.”
