His research career focuses on the effects of perinatal and subsequent parental mental health on infant/child health outcomes\, with a specialization in the field of non-birthing parent mental health.  His aim is to reconceptualize parental mental health research to integrally involve both birthing and non-birthing parents to differentiate parents’ impact on child medical and mental health.  He has been a leader nationally and internationally advocating for more inclusion of racial\, ethnic\, sexual\, gender\, linguistic\, and religious minorities in perinatal research and clinical practice to address domestic and global health disparities. In addition to research and clinical practice\, Dr. Fisher focuses on public policy\, advocacy\, and media to support perinatal families and ensure programs address variations of family dynamics.
