Steven Smith+FollowDads Turn Stroller Walks Into Support SquadWho knew a simple stroller walk could spark a movement? Kalvin Bridgewater was struggling with postpartum depression after his daughter was born—something most people don’t even realize can hit dads. One walk turned into a group, then a full-on Daddy Stroller Social Club, where dads bond, vent, and support each other. Now, these meetups are popping up across the country, helping dads tackle mental health together. Proof that sometimes, all it takes is a walk (and a few strollers) to change lives. #DadLife #MentalHealthMatters #PostpartumSupport #Health30Share
