Fatherhood Centered Maternal Health Programs in Charlotte, NC, and Surrounding Areas
Training fathers to support pregnancy, birth, and postpartum well-being through culturally grounded maternal health engagement.
Expectant families often face major stress during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods, especially when fathers feel unsure about their role. Without guidance, fathers may miss key opportunities to support mothers emotionally, advocate during medical appointments, and contribute to stable home environments. This gap can increase avoidable stress, reduce maternal mental health support, and limit family readiness.
