Description
Summary:No counseling research exists about how otherfathering affects Black men's wellness. Black otherfathering has been primarily studied in schools as one of many expectations for Black male teachers. A review of research about the relationship between fathering, otherfathering, and mental health in Black men is presented and concludes with a rationale for more research about Black otherfathering as a potential protective factor for Black men's mental health. Resumen No existen investigaciones en consejería acerca de cómo otherfathering (ejercer el papel de “otro padre”) afecta al bienestar de hombres Negros. Este tipo de rol se ha estudiado principalmente en las escuelas como una de las muchas expectativas de los maestros Negros varones. Se presenta una revisión de las investigaciones acerca de la relación entre la paternidad, el papel de “otro padre” y la salud mental de los hombres Negros, y se concluye con un razonamiento para realizar más investigaciones acerca del otherfathering como un factor protector de la salud mental de hombres Negros.
