Dr. Tyrone Parchment joined the Boston College School of Social Work faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2018. His scholarly interests lie in four areas: (1) investigating the ways in which gender, familial, cultural and other psycho-social, contextual factors influence male caregiving in families; (2) exploring the unique indirect and direct contributions that paternal/male involvement has on child behavioral and mental health; (3) documenting the various roles male caregivers/fathers play in the lives of children and families; and (4) developing applied theoretically grounded paternal/male interventions for improving children’s behavioral and mental health outcomes. Dr. Parchment has extensive experience working on family-based research projects in the United States and South Africa including a youth development and mental health support program for high school students.
