MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

Friends and family,

We hope this email finds you well. As we wrap up the month of May, we want to reach out to you to shed light on two significant causes: Mental Health Awareness and Foster Care Month.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

Mental Health & Our Moms: addressing the mental well-being of moms in our community.

As you know, the journey of motherhood can be challenging, particularly for young mothers who often face multiple stressors and limited support systems. At Mother's Refuge, we prioritize the mental health of our residents, recognizing that a positive and stable environment plays a crucial role in their overall well-being.

During this month and beyond, we have organized various mental health classes, counseling sessions, and support groups to ensure that our young moms have access to the tools and resources they need to navigate the emotional complexities of life. By contributing to Mother's Refuge, you are directly supporting these efforts, making a lasting impact on the mental health of young mothers.

FOSTER CARE MONTH

Foster Care & Our Moms: On average, 29% of our residents are in foster care.

This is also a month where we have an opportunity to raise awareness about the many children who are in need of safe and nurturing homes. Some of our residents are placed at Mother's Refuge through the Missouri Children's Division. Many foster care professionals reach out to Mother's Refuge for housing to provide young moms in foster care with the education, tools, and support system they desperately need to become the best moms they can be!

Your continued support enables us to provide safe refuge to young mothers and children in foster care.
