AIM Wishes Arkansas Dads a Happy Father’s Day

Today, we celebrate the dads who play an essential role in the lives of their children and families. Your love and support are invaluable not only to your children but also to the health and well-being of moms across Arkansas.

‍

Healthy moms are the cornerstone of healthy and happy families and communities. From providing emotional support during pregnancy to being active in childcare during the postpartum period and beyond, dads have a significant impact on supporting their partners’ maternal health.

‍

“My husband is more than just a great dad; he and I are truly teammates,” said AIM Executive Director, Ashley Bearden Campbell. She continued, “He was my advocate in the hospital, the calm throughout the storm of my mental health journey, and is an equal partner when it comes to caring for our daughter. His love and support have made me a better mom, wife, advocate and person.”

‍

Today, we encourage dads to share their stories, advocate for their partners, and talk about why maternal health is more than just a woman’s issue.
