To improve maternal and child health, fathers must be included in services and policies designed to support families, @DrTovaWalsh and @CFGarfield argue in a @thehill op-ed. "Fathers are central, not peripheral, to their families," they write.

The 1981 Chicago Sting were honored tonight at the @ChicagoFire game.
They won the Soccer Bowl over the New York Cosmos, giving Chicago its first championship in any sport in 18 years.
How big were the Sting back then?

🤣 Do you remember this adorable video from a few years ago featuring @ComedianDJPryor "chatting" with his son? It’s one of our favorites because it is a great example of a serve & return interaction.

I really loved @AspenAscend’s 1 in 5 podcast, each following a #studentparent as they navigate school, parenting, and life. My fave ep so far follows @HowardCCPrez as she pays it forward (investing in parents has generational benefits!) ascend.aspeninstitute.org/1-…
