Happy Father's Day to all the dads, partners, and father figures in our community. We see you and we celebrate you! 💙

Fatherhood is one of life's greatest adventures, and one of its greatest challenges. Becoming a father can be one of the most meaningful experiences of your life but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and challenging in ways that aren't always talked about.

At the Postpartum Support Center, we believe fathers need support, connection, and community, too.

This Father's Day, we're excited to share that we are expanding our services with a new Fatherhood Support Initiative dedicated to supporting dads through the transition to parenthood and beyond. Through connection, education, resources, and community, we're creating spaces where fathers can feel supported, understood, and empowered.

Stay tuned: we will be sharing more information about upcoming programs, events, and opportunities to connect in the coming months. Follow along and help us spread the word as we build a stronger, more connected community for fathers and families."

💜Our hearts are so full 💜

THANK YOU to every family, volunteer, donor, sponsor, community partner, speaker, board member, and supporter who joined us for Walk for Moms and stood with families in our community.

Another huge thank you to our incredible sponsors and partners who helped make this day possible. Thank you to our inspiring speakers who shared their stories and voices so courageously, helping raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding maternal mental health. Your willingness to speak openly creates healing and reminds families that they are never alone.

A special thank you to Marin County Board of Supervisors President for bringing his beautiful family and leading our symbolic walk, and to Maria Ni**le and First 5 Marin for showing up, speaking, and reaffirming their commitment to children and families. Seeing leaders stand publicly beside mothers, fathers, babies, and young children sends a powerful message: families matter, and this community stands behind them.

🙏 We left the event with something our team needed to hear and feel: we are not alone in this work.

📣 And because our village keeps showing up, we have exciting news: an incredibly generous supporter has stepped forward with 👏 ANOTHER $10,000 MATCHING GIFT 👏 challenge if we can raise it by the end of May! Every dollar donated will now be doubled.

We are still pushing toward our goal — because families cannot wait. Please donate, share, invite others, and help us bring this home. Together, we can continue building a community where mothers, fathers, and children feel seen, supported, and cared for.

We truly cannot do this alone.
