Programs seeking to work with Aboriginal fathers, parents and families and
during the perinatal period need to focus on recovery and healing from stress and trauma; empower men and reconnect them to each other and their families; be Aboriginal - led, family focused, and responsive to local contexts; take a holistic approach; and be flexible with delivery.
The results provide tentative evidence to suggest that intensive home visiting by UK - based health visitors
during the
perinatal period can improve parenting and increase the identification of infants in
need of early removal from the home in vulnerable families.
