Abstract

Within the intricate fabric of family dynamics, the bond between a child and its father holds significant influence. Black fathers are central to community advancement, fostering lower crime rates, improved educational outcomes, and heightened social welfare. However, the pervasive issue of absent Black fathers persists, casting a shadow over these positive contributions. This chapter delves into the concept of the father's absence, exploring its profound impacts on children's emotional, psychological, and social development. By delving into the historical origins of Black father absence, marked by economic inequities, discriminatory policies, and high rates of incarceration, the authors uncover persistent challenges within the Black family framework. Despite these obstacles, the chapter also explores strategies professionals and practitioners can utilize to effectively support and engage Black fathers, recognizing their transformative potential in nurturing thriving children, fostering resilient families, and strengthening communities.
