Mental Health Treatment to Improve Father Depression and Child Outcomes in Kenya

LEAD is a 5-session behavioral activation (BA) intervention delivered by peer-father counselors. LEAD also incorporates motivational interviewing (MI) and masculinity discussion strategies. This is a task-shifted intervention meaning mental health service tasks are delegated to non-specialist providers, in this case peer-fathers, as opposed to a specialized workforce (e.g., psychiatrists, psychologists).
