Evan is a thirty-year-old father of two. When his second son was born, Evan became overwhelmed with work and emotionally at home. When he considered everything going on, he couldn’t quite put it all in perspective. Where might you begin to assess Evan’s needs?
  1. Encouraging him to hire a babysitter for additional help
  2. Making sure his wife understands that he’s new to this
  3. Referring him out to a “new fathers” group
  4. Taking a close look at how he is utilizing existing support
Explanation
Answer - D - Was Evan involved in the birthing process at the hospital? Has the couple called on their in-laws for support via babysitting and other jobs? You can examine all of these things to find out how committed someone is to participating in the change that must happen over time.
