This article provides an overview of some of the ways a father’s absence contributes to adolescent development.

Black fathers with histories of incarceration and trauma have multiple stressors that interfere with their ability to navigate life in the community, parent their children and develop self-parenting skills that promote the healthy regulation of their emotions. The origins of these stressors are connected to racism, masculine stereotypes and histories of trauma. Improving these skills has the potential to put fathers in control of their response to life distress instead of feeling controlled by it.
