Fatherhood Engagement in Maternal Health Act; create.

The Fatherhood Engagement in Maternal Health Act would require Mississippi's State Department of Health to create a public awareness campaign about fathers' roles in maternal health during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. It directs the Department to post online resources for healthcare providers (including hospitals and clinics) on engaging fathers and screening for paternal depression as part of routine maternity care. The bill is based on legislative findings that father involvement can improve maternal outcomes, reduce risks like preterm birth, and support infant development. These provisions aim to integrate father engagement into standard maternal health practices without mandating specific provider actions.
