Message from the Founder & President

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here.

Arkansas Maternal Coalition was born from a deep belief that maternal health is more than physical care. It’s about being seen, heard, and supported at every step. After thousands of hours walking alongside women through mental health challenges and reproductive experiences, one phrase echoes again and again: "I just wish I knew someone who felt this too."

That longing for connection is why this work matters. Whether you are facing pregnancy, miscarriage, infant loss, infertility, postpartum struggles, or the everyday weight of motherhood, you deserve access to compassionate, evidence-based support and a community that understands.

I invite you to explore our work and see how you can be part of it.

At Arkansas Maternal Coalition, we are improving maternal health across the state by removing barriers and uplifting women through storytelling, expressive art, and diverse media. My hope is that through this work, we continue to remind each other you are not alone.

With gratitude,
Kaitlyn Gardner LPC, PMH-C
Founder and President
