Empowering Moms. Nurturing Children.
Nurture is a thriving community of moms sharing support, connections, and resources. We would love for you to join us!
Nurture provides free and confidential text-based support that connects experienced moms with newer moms to offer support and resources.
Our community is open to all moms and fosters a warm and welcoming environment that connects experienced moms with moms who have children under the age of 3. We are dedicated to supporting and empowering mothers of young children through compassion and connection. Our trained mentors, all moms themselves, provide empathy, guidance when requested, and understanding to help navigate the shared challenges of motherhood.
Recognizing the demands on mothers’ time, our community is entirely virtual. Mentorship is delivered virtually via text message. This flexible approach allows for convenient and accessible support, ensuring that mothers can engage with their mentors at their own pace, whenever it suits them.
We emphasize the importance of maternal mental health and its direct impact on the social-emotional development of children. We also incorporate age-appropriate early infant literacy and other brain building strategies, empowering moms to cultivate a love for reading and learning from the very beginning.
Together, we are building a thriving community of moms who feel supported, informed, and connected, fostering resilience and nurturing the next generation.
Nurture is always free and confidential. We support families of all backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, and lived experience. There are no income guidelines or requirements to sign up.
At Nurture, we embrace our responsibility to create a culture that is welcoming to everyone. We stand firm against racism and inequality, and discrimination in any form is not tolerated within Nurture.
We believe that inclusion and diversity are imperative for the moms in our community and those who mentor them. The vast majority of our enrolled moms state that they have a positive, trusting relationship with their mentor. Along with supporting moms, Nurture focuses heavily on building trust and reciprocity in these relationships. When moms join our community, all are welcome — there are no screening criteria or income guidelines.
We know that children thrive when they experience a stable relationship with at least one consistent, responsive, and trusted caregiver. While our focus has traditionally been on enhancing the relationship between moms and their young children, we understand that these parenting roles are not exclusive to female-identifying parents. We welcome and celebrate all gender identities and family dynamics in our community, and we are happy and eager to support all parents who identify as the primary caregiver and as a source of trusted, consistent nurturing of a child.
Nurture screens parents for signs of possible postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD), which affect an estimated 15% of parents. It is critical that we continue to educate and bring awareness to the subject of postpartum depression and the daily struggles of parenthood, specifically the increased risk those in underserved communities face. Addressing these factors will lead to better health outcomes for both mothers and their children.
