Father’s Day 2025: Celebrating Fatherhood and Men’s Mental Health

A Father’s Day to Remember in Men’s Mental Health Month

Happy Father's Day from SFN

As we commemorate Father’s Day 2025, we find ourselves in the midst of Men’s Mental Health Month: a powerful coincidence that ties together a single day of celebration with a full month of reflection & awareness. June has long been recognized as a time to focus on men’s health, both physical and mental. (Source) This dual significance is not lost on me. On one hand, we honor the love, sacrifice, and strength of fathers everywhere. On the other, we shine a light on men’s inner well-being, an aspect of health too often kept in the shadows. It’s a fitting moment to speak from the heart, as a father and as someone deeply invested in the wellness of our community. In this blog post, I want to have a candid, heartfelt conversation about why this Father’s Day carries extra meaning. We’ll talk about the state of men’s mental health, the unique journey of single fathers, the progress we’re making at Single Fathers Network, and how we can all move forward together with more than just simple hope. We can move forward with purpose.

Let's start by saying Happy Father’s Day to every dad out there, especially the single fathers & solo fathers holding it down each day. I know firsthand how demanding and rewarding this role is. And to have Father’s Day fall during Men’s Mental Health Month feels especially poignant. It’s a reminder that our mental and emotional wellness as men and fathers matters just as much as our physical health. We often talk about dads being protectors and providers, which is only the utilitarian side of us; today, let’s also talk about how dads are human beings with hearts and minds that need care. In the spirit of being humble and real: it’s okay to acknowledge that even as we celebrate, many of us are healing from wounds or carrying burdens that others might not see. By opening up about these challenges, we not only become stronger for our children; we also show them courage by example.

The Silent Crisis in Men’s Mental Health

Alongside our celebration, we must confront a hard truth: there’s a silent crisis in men’s mental health. For generations, societal expectations have told men to “tough it out” and keep emotions bottled up. (Source 1) (Source 2) The result? Far too many men are hurting in silence. The statistics paint a sobering picture. Men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women. (Source) In fact, in the United States, men comprise the vast majority of suicide deaths each year. Recent data show that in 2023 men died by suicide 3.8 times more often than women. (Source) This isn’t because men don’t feel pain or despair. It's often because they feel they can’t or shouldn’t seek help. Stigma and traditional notions of masculinity have made it hard for men to say “I’m struggling” out loud. The outcome has been tragic, and it underscores why talking about mental health this month (and every month) is literally life-saving.

It’s not just suicide rates that are alarming. Many men battle depression, anxiety, trauma, or stress-related disorders, yet relatively few reach out for support. One study noted that by 2021, only 40% of men with a mental illness had received treatment in the past year, compared to 52% of women. (Source) That gap tells us that men’s mental health needs are often unmet; whether due to stigma, lack of tailored resources, or the misconception that “real men” don’t ask for help. Even when men do seek therapy or counseling, they sometimes feel misunderstood. Research has found that health providers can misdiagnose or underestimate men’s mental health issues, often due to gender biases or atypical symptom patterns. (Source) For example, a man’s depression might manifest as irritability or work burnout rather than outward sadness, and if clinicians aren’t attuned to that, the man may not get the right support. (Source)

During the COVID-19 pandemic, these struggles were magnified. Like many, men faced uncertainty, isolation, and financial stress. Studies actually found that while men reported slightly lower anxiety than women during the pandemic, they had higher rates of depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts than their female counterparts. (Source) Yet the surge in men seeking mental health care in 2020 proved short-lived – by the following year, many were once again going it alone. (Source) Learning from that crisis created an even clearer realization: we need to create a culture where men feel safe to speak up and seek help. As the National Alliance on Mental Illness urges, we must “build a culture where men feel safe speaking up and reaching out” – breaking the silence, together. (Source)

The good news is that change is happening. Conversations about men’s mental health are more mainstream now than ever. Campaigns like Men’s Health Month emphasize that mental health is health. (Source) There’s growing recognition that strength isn’t about how much you can bear alone; it’s about having the courage to lean on others when needed. Here at Single Fathers Network, we see this every day – men supporting men, whether through a peer support group or just a phone call to say “Brother, I’m here for you.” Each simple conversation, each moment of vulnerability, chips away at the old stigma. (Source 1) (Source 2) And each step a father takes to care for his own mental well-being is a step toward being the best dad he can be.

Single Fathers: Unique Struggles and Inspiring Resilience

Nowhere is the conversation about fatherhood and mental health more important than among single fathers. Single dads walk a path filled with unique challenges (and remarkable resilience). In the United States alone, there are over 3.3 million single fathers, representing about 20% of all single-parent households. (Source) That’s millions of dads who are raising children on their own or co-parenting without a partner in the home. These fathers come from every background and circumstance: divorced dads sharing custody, widowers, never-married dads, dads with full custody after legal battles, and dads whose partners are deployed or no longer present. Each story is different, but there are common threads in the struggles they face and the strength they show.

Being a single parent is hard, period. But single fathers often find themselves fighting stereotypes and navigating parenting & legal systems not built for them. Society still tends to assume that mothers are the default caregivers. A single father might hear people say, “Oh, are you babysitting today?” when he’s out with his own children, something a single mother rarely encounters. Some single dads have to prove and re-prove that they are the primary caregiver, because others can’t believe the mom isn’t in the picture. (Source) In custody or family court, fathers become acutely aware that the deck is stacked against them, facing skepticism about their parenting capabilities. And when it comes to seeking assistance (be it welfare, housing, or even just community support groups) single fathers often find fewer resources and a colder reception. In fact, research indicates that single fathers requesting social benefits have reported substandard customer service and more bureaucratic hurdles compared to single mothers. (Source) That kind of systemic bias can be demoralizing, making it even tougher for dads who are simply trying to provide for their kids.

Many single dads also grapple with isolation. They may not know other fathers in the same boat, especially since single mothers outnumber single fathers by a large margin. The parenting groups and informal support networks out there are frequently dominated by moms, which can make a dad feel like an outsider. And while friends and family often rally around single moms (rightly so), single dads sometimes slip through the cracks, expected to “figure it out” on their own. This isolation can take a toll on mental health – raising kids is a joyful endeavor, but let’s be real, it can also be exhausting, lonely, and overwhelming when you’re the only adult in the household.

Yet, despite these struggles, single fathers exemplify resilience and love in action. I have been privileged to witness stories in our Network that truly inspire. I think of the dad who worked two jobs and still never missed a parent-teacher conference or a soccer game, proving his devotion daily. Or the father who, after a tough divorce, fought through the courts not out of spite but out of an unwavering commitment to be present in his daughter’s life, and eventually won equal custody, giving his child the gift of both parents actively involved. There are stories of single dads who went back to school to create a better life for their kids, or who learned to braid hair and sew Halloween costumes and do all the “little things” with great pride because their children needed them to. These successes might not make newspaper headlines, but they deserve applause. Every child who has a loving father show up for them consistently is a success story in that child’s life.

Studies have shown that children greatly benefit from having an active father figure. One long-term study found that kids with involved fathers had better academic and social outcomes, with fewer behavioral problems, even if the father didn’t live in the same house full-time. (Source) I mention this because it reinforces why the persistence of single dads matters so much; it makes a real difference for kids. When a father is present (reading bedtime stories, coaching Little League, teaching life lessons, or even just doing the nightly dishes with his son or daughter), it creates stability and nurtures confidence in that child. And when single fathers face down difficulties to remain present, they are actively breaking cycles and building stronger futures. It’s not easy; many will admit there are days they feel like they’re “winging it” or barely holding things together. But to those dads, I want to say: you are seen, and you are making an incredible impact. The struggles you overcome become strengths in your children’s lives.

But, a major contrary point here is that being a single father is not all hardship. There are unique joys and rewards, too. The bond that grows when it’s just you and your child navigating the world can be extraordinarily strong. You become a true team. Many single dads tell me how their relationship with their kids deepened in ways they never expected – whether it’s the shared goofy humor, the mutual encouragement (“we got this!” on a tough day), or the pride of watching their little one grow into a responsible young adult knowing you were their rock. Those are the moments to cherish. They remind us why every late night, every difficult decision, and every sacrifice is worth it.

The Impact of Single Fathers Network: A Community Blueprint

In the face of these challenges, one thing is crystal clear: no single father should have to walk this journey alone. That belief is the heartbeat of Single Fathers Network (SFN). I founded SFN alongside some amazing co-leaders because we saw the gap: too many dads out there had nowhere to turn for tailored support, legal guidance, or just someone who understands. Since our inception, our mission has been simple: to ensure that every father has the tools, knowledge, and community to thrive in his parenting role. (Source 1) (Source 2) I’d like to take a moment to highlight what we’ve accomplished so far and why it matters.

When we officially launched our digital platform recently, it was more than just publishing a website. It’s a tool for the fatherhood journey of all fathers. We built four core pillars of support into our programming: Parenting, Wellness, Legal, and Financial resources, all specifically designed with fathers in mind. (Source) These pillars came directly from listening to dads about what they need most. Under each pillar, we’ve been curating workshops, guides, and interactive tools to tackle real-world challenges. For example, under Legal, we’ve hosted workshops offering free consultations and help with custody or child support paperwork. (Source 1) (Source 2) Under Parenting, we created the Fatherhood Blueprint Academy, a signature 12-week course where dads can learn practical parenting strategies, conflict resolution, and how to build lifelong bonds with their kids. (Source) In Wellness, we’ll be running virtual “Wellness Wednesday” sessions, allowing fathers to vent openly, air their grievances, but also focus on mindfulness, recentering and forward movement. (Source) And for Financial, we will be offering budgeting webinars and 1-on-1 sessions on financial literacy (because single-income parenting is tough, and every dollar counts).

The impact of these programs has been genuinely heartwarming to see. A father, after attending our legal workshop, was able to navigate a thorny custody modification process with far less stress, because he finally understood his rights and had a game plan. Our community events have also been where the magic happens. We’ve organized Dad Grow Day events, hands-on family gardening projects that let fathers and kids bond in the sunshine while learning about growing food. (Source) We’ve held Fatherhood Storytelling Circles where men shared their personal journeys through spoken word and poetry, turning pain into power and finding healing in the process. (Source) We’ve partnered with local organizations to run a Monthly Mobile Food Pantry, ensuring fathers and their families get nutritious food and no dad has to choose between paying a bill and feeding his kids. The Arizona College of Nursing and St. Mary’s Food Bank have been crucial allies in that effort, joining us to serve students and local families with dignity and care.

Since our inception in January 2023, Single Fathers Network has grown from an idea to a living, breathing support system. We’ve connected with hundreds of fathers (locally here in Arizona and across the nation through our online platforms). We’ve seen isolated dads form friendships and mentorships that continue outside our meetings. The kind of “village” that every parent needs. It’s not an exaggeration to say that some lives have been changed. One father told me that before finding SFN, he felt “invisible” and was on the brink of severe depression; after joining, he felt seen and supported for the first time, and it gave him strength to keep going for his daughter. That is the impact; it’s measured in hope, confidence, and the smiles of kids whose dads are getting the support they deserve.

All of this has been achieved with a lean volunteer-driven team and the generosity of our community. SFN is proud to be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity, meaning our sole focus is the well-being of fathers and their families. (Source) We know that historically, single fathers have been overlooked in the social service landscape (Source), and we’re actively filling that gap. Every program we design and every partnership we forge is guided by the principle that fathers deserve equitable access to support. By tailoring resources for dads, we’re not just helping men, we’re uplifting whole families. When a father is empowered, his children reap the benefits in security, opportunity, and emotional health. (Source 1) (Source 2) Strong fathers help build strong families and, in turn, stronger communities.

Gratitude for the Village Behind Our Mission

No journey of this magnitude is undertaken alone. As I reflect on our progress and look to the future, I am profoundly aware of the village of supporters and partners who make this work possible. Single Fathers Network might have started with an idea I had, but it has grown because of us: a community of allies committed to uplifting fathers. Today, on Father’s Day, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the many individuals and organizations who stand with us in this mission.

Firstly, to our partners – you are the unsung heroes working alongside us to make a difference. I want to recognize each by name, because each has contributed something unique to our cause:

• Renae Linden (Cancer Matters) – Thank you for spearheading cancer awareness and health education for our dads. Your passion for early detection and your 15+ years in cancer care bring life-saving knowledge to our community instagram.com. Fathers and families will lead healthier lives because of your dedication.

• Tholin Johnson (Know Be Love) – Your mantra of “Know yourself, Be yourself, Love yourself” has inspired so many of us. As a veteran and motivational strategist, you’ve shown how self-understanding and resilience can carry fathers through tough times. We’re grateful for the positive energy and wisdom you pour into our dads.

• Dr. Evandra Catherine – Your expertise in mental health and your advocacy for Black families’ well-being have been invaluable. Thank you for guiding our wellness programs and ensuring that we address the cultural dimensions of mental health. Your humility and warmth make it easier for dads to open up and heal.

• Nika Sesay (Heart & Soil People’s Garden) – You’ve literally helped us grow our community. By hosting our storytelling circles and garden days at Heart & Soil, you provided a peaceful, nurturing space for fathers and kids to connect with nature and each other. Thank you for getting your hands dirty with us (in the best way) and reminding us that growth is a communal effort.

• Arizona College of Nursing & St. Mary’s Food Bank – To our friends at these institutions, your partnership in our Monthly Mobile Food Pantry has fed bodies and souls alike. Every second Wednesday, you show up with resources and volunteers to ensure no dad in our community goes hungry handsonphoenix.org. This practical support relieves an enormous burden for struggling families, and we can’t thank you enough for your consistent generosity and hard work.

And there are more who deserve applause:

• Tina Marie Fowler (The Bridge Builders Alliance Group) – Your collaborative spirit has truly built bridges – whether co-hosting events like our upcoming health day (Source) or rallying community leaders to our cause. Thank you for believing in the power of partnership and unity.

• Alison Binford – As a licensed therapist, you’ve been a pillar of emotional support for our fathers. Thank you for volunteering your time to counsel dads in need and for normalizing therapy as a strength, not a stigma. The joy and hope you help fathers rediscover is priceless.

• Reuben Anderson (SongLab Live) – You’ve used music and creativity to heal and empower. Through your podcast and content creation, you give fathers (and mothers) a platform to share stories and art born from their experiences. Thank you for reminding us that creative expression can be a powerful therapy and for amplifying positive narratives about fatherhood.

• Darryl Johnson (The Cooperative Lender) – Your guidance on business financing, credit building, and small-business loans is opening doors for entrepreneurial dads who want to turn ideas into income. Thank you for showing fathers how to secure capital, establish solid business credit, and build lasting legacies for their families.

• Kylie Elizabeth (The Virtuoso Educator) – As an educator, you’ve been an advocate for our dads in the school system and at home. Thank you for providing tutoring resources and educational guidance, and for ensuring that single fathers have the tools to support their children’s learning. You prove that when parents and teachers team up, kids win.

• Hasani Houston (Spend the Same Dollar Twice) – Your innovative approach to financial literacy is teaching our community how to make money work harder and smarter. Thank you for the engaging workshops and for injecting humor and realism into discussions about money – a topic that can be stressful, but you make accessible and even fun.

• “Brotha Anthony” – To a mentor and motivator who many of our dads know from social media and local events, thank you for being a brother to all. Your words – whether a tough-love truth or an uplifting encouragement – have a way of reaching men exactly when they need it. You remind us that faith, perseverance, and brotherhood can carry us through the darkest times.

• Life More Abundantly – Finally, to our partners at Life More Abundantly (an organization that embodies its name by promoting holistic well-being and spiritual growth), thank you for walking alongside our fathers who seek deeper purpose and healing. Your emphasis on living life to the fullest, even after hardship, resonates deeply with what we strive for at SFN: not just survival, but abundant life for fathers and their kids.

To each partner and supporter named above: thank you. Our accomplishments to date – every father helped, every program delivered – are our accomplishments together. This Father’s Day, I raise my hat to you for believing in our mission. You have demonstrated what it means to be community champions. In the spirit of humility, I acknowledge that SFN cannot do this alone; it’s through these collaborations that we’re able to extend our reach and deepen our impact. From health and wellness, to education, to basic needs, you have helped us create a wraparound support system. We truly have a “village” rallying around fatherhood, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Honoring Fatherhood (Not a “Second Mother’s Day”)

Before I close, I want to address a sensitive topic that seems to surface around this time each year – something that’s been on my mind because it affects the way society perceives fatherhood and, ultimately, how children experience these celebrations. Every Father’s Day on social media, I inevitably see posts or comments suggesting that Father’s Day is basically a “second Mother’s Day” for women who are single moms. You may have seen this: people saying “Happy Father’s Day to me, since I’m both mom and dad,” or greeting cards (yes, they exist) that say “For You, Mom, on Father’s Day”. (Source) I want to speak on this carefully and respectfully, because it’s a nuanced issue – but it’s important.

Let me start by saying that single mothers absolutely deserve recognition – they work incredibly hard and face their own challenges, and they get Mother’s Day (and frankly deserve appreciation all year). Acknowledging fathers on Father’s Day does not take away from mothers, just as celebrating mothers doesn’t diminish fathers. It’s not a competition, and it shouldn’t be. When someone calls Father’s Day a “second Mother’s Day,” the intention might be to applaud moms who are doing double duty, but the effect is actually quite hurtful and counterproductive. Here’s why: it effectively erases fathers from the narrative and reinforces the notion that dads are either unnecessary or universally absent. That’s simply not true, and it’s unfair to the countless devoted fathers (single or otherwise) who pour their hearts into parenting. It’s also harmful to children – whether they have an active father, an absent father, or have lost their father – because it sends the message that “Dads don’t matter.”

Imagine a child who doesn’t see their dad often, maybe due to circumstances beyond their control. When they log on and see people joking that Father’s Day is just another Mother’s Day, how do they process that? It could feel like an insult to their father – or an implication that the hole they feel by not having dad around is negligible since mom can fill both roles. Children benefit from positive male and female role models; numerous studies confirm that when fathers are positively involved, kids have better emotional and academic outcomes. (Source) Saying Father’s Day isn’t for fathers undermines those benefits. It can create confusion and pain, suggesting to a child that recognizing their dad (or any dad) is so unimportant that we might as well repurpose the day for moms. And for children who do have engaged fathers, it downplays the importance of that relationship – which is just as crucial as the mother-child bond in a healthy family dynamic.

From a broader perspective, this narrative also points to programmatic failures and social biases that we need to address. If mothers feel they have to claim Father’s Day, it often comes from a place of real hurt – perhaps the father of their children isn’t present or pulling his weight. That frustration is valid. But rather than rebranding Father’s Day, wouldn’t it be better to channel that energy into fixing the systems that lead to so many fatherless situations? For example, why are so many fathers absent? It could be personal failings, but it’s also things like incarceration disparities, economic pressures, parental alienation in custody battles, or social service systems that don’t reach out to dads. When we just write fathers off (“moms do it all, so Father’s Day is redundant”), we normalize father absence instead of challenging it. We risk reinforcing the stereotype that fathers are either secondary or unnecessary, which can become a self-fulfilling prophecy in programs and policies.

Already, as noted, single fathers often get the short end of the stick in social support. (Source) The “second Mother’s Day” mindset can unconsciously justify that bias: if even society at large shrugs off fathers, why allocate resources or design programs for them?

I believe a better approach – one that is truly in the best interest of children – is to hold space for fatherhood. If a particular dad isn’t living up to responsibilities, by all means call him out – but don’t generalize that to all fathers or the institution of Father’s Day. Let’s celebrate the dads who are there, and for those who aren’t, let’s ask deeper questions: How can we encourage responsibility? How can we support fathers to be more involved? How do we help boys and young men learn to become the kind of fathers their kids need, breaking cycles of absence? Those questions lead to constructive solutions (like parenting education for young men, co-parenting counseling, fair parental leave policies, etc.) rather than snarky social media posts that solve nothing.

So to those who have ever felt tempted to call it “Single Mother’s Day, Part 2,” I gently challenge that notion. Father’s Day is for fathers. It doesn’t mean every father is perfect or present, just like not every mother is, either. It means we acknowledge the importance of fatherhood as a role. When we do that, we send a message to all the dads out there – the good ones trying their best, the struggling ones who need a nudge, and the future ones watching and learning – that we value you. We expect great things from you, and we will support you in being the best father you can be. That’s a message that ultimately benefits children, which is what both Mother’s and Father’s Day should be about at the core: celebrating the people who love and raise children, and inspiring all of us to do better by our kids.

On a personal note, as a single father myself, hearing the “second Mother’s Day” rhetoric used to sting. I took it as a dismissal of what I do for my child every day. But I’ve come to realize that defensiveness doesn’t help; education does. So now I use those moments as teaching opportunities – to explain why fatherhood is not an afterthought, and why recognizing dads doesn’t detract from moms. There’s room to lift everyone up. We can celebrate the superhuman efforts of single moms on Mother’s Day (or any day!) without undermining dads on Father’s Day. In our Network, we’ve had single mothers as allies and guest speakers who absolutely acknowledge this; many will say, “I’m a great mom, but I know I can’t be a dad – that role is different.” They deserve respect for wearing many hats, but even they don’t want to erase fathers; they want fathers to step up, because they know kids do best with both strong maternal and paternal influences.

In summary: let’s retire the “second Mother’s Day” narrative. It’s a distraction from the real work of improving families. Instead, let’s focus on solutions – supporting all parents and creating conditions where more children can have the benefit of both a loving mom and dad, even if those parents live in separate homes. And where that’s not possible, let’s ensure every child has access to father figures and mother figures through extended family or mentoring. Every child deserves the whole village. We owe them that.

Together in Strength and Solidarity – A Call to Action

As we wrap up this Father’s Day 2025 reflection, I want to leave every reader with a message of encouragement and solidarity. To my fellow fathers – especially the single dads: You are not alone. Even on the days it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, remember that an entire network of brothers has your back. Whether you’re celebrating with your kids today, or maybe separated from them due to circumstances, you are a vital part of your children’s lives and you matter. Keep showing up in whatever ways you can. Our kids won’t remember us for being perfect; they’ll remember us for being present and loving. And on the days you fall short or feel overwhelmed, give yourself grace. This parenting journey doesn’t come with a map, but together, we’re figuring it out step by step.

To the mothers, grandparents, friends, and community members reading this: thank you for supporting the fathers in your lives. Encourage them to take care of themselves, not just their kids. Normalize asking a dad, “How are you doing?” and really listening. Often, fathers hesitate to voice their struggles because they don’t want to appear weak or burden others. By simply checking in, you might open a door for a dad to seek help or at least feel seen. And that could make all the difference.

Now, I’d like to extend a call to action. Single Fathers Network is committed to continuing and expanding this work – but we can’t do it without community support. If our mission speaks to your heart, I invite you to join us in whatever way you can. You can become a member, volunteer your time or skills, or if you’re in a position to, consider making a donation. We are a grassroots nonprofit, and every dollar truly counts. In fact, I can assure you that any contribution goes directly toward keeping our programs free and accessible to fathers who need them – funding things like the tech platform for our support groups, bringing in expert guest speakers, facilitating peer mentorship, and offering scholarships for dads in underserved communities. Your support can help a dad attend a parenting class he otherwise couldn’t afford, or help us set up a child-friendly space for fathers to meet and learn, or enable that next legal clinic that might be the turning point in a family’s life. If you’d like to donate, you can visit our website’s “Donate” page or any of our social media profiles for the link. No amount is too small – it all goes toward building stronger fathers and, by extension, stronger kids and communities.

Beyond money, there’s a role for everyone in this movement. Maybe you’re an employer – you can implement father-friendly workplace policies or support employees who are single parents. Maybe you’re in healthcare – you can help by ensuring your practice is welcoming to dads and by asking about fathers’ mental health during pediatric visits. If you’re a policymaker, consider how laws and programs can better engage fathers (from custody laws that encourage co-parenting, to funding for fatherhood initiatives). And if you’re just an individual with a voice, use it to spread awareness. Challenge the stigmas when you hear them. Share resources about men’s mental health. If you know a single dad, ask if he’s heard of Single Fathers Network or similar groups – and if not, introduce us. Sometimes the hardest part is that first step of reaching out, and you can be the bridge that connects a father to the support he didn’t realize was out there.

In closing, I want to circle back to where we began: Father’s Day and Men’s Mental Health Month. Today, I celebrate all that fathers are – the bedtime storytellers, the protectors, the providers, the role models, the occasional comic relief, and the everyday heroes in their children’s eyes. I also acknowledge all that fathers feel – the pressures, the fears, the pride, the love, the doubts. It’s okay to feel it all. By taking care of our mental health, by seeking support when we need it, we become better fathers. And by becoming better fathers, we contribute to a better world for our children.

To every dad reading this: you are doing one of the most important jobs on Earth. Treasure the little moments. Take care of yourself. Keep growing and learning. And remember, we at Single Fathers Network are here for you – today, tomorrow, and on every step of this journey. Happy Father’s Day. Let’s continue to stand strong, together, and let’s make sure no father has to figure it all out alone.

Warmly,

Darol Lucas – Founder & COO, Single Fathers Network
