The first gender-responsive, trauma-informed curriculum designed specifically for mothers

Amazing Moms! Motherhood Curriculum consists of 19 two-hour, co-facilitated sessions that include activities, exercises, and experiential opportunities. The goal of the workshop is to help participants create a vision of the mothers they want to be and to provide them with the awareness, tools, and confidence to achieve that vision. By encouraging participants to connect with the content on a personal level, the curriculum helps mothers enhance their relationships with their children and other family members.

The Amazing Moms! program--including a Facilitator's Guide and Participant Workbook--goes beyond other parenting curricula, addressing the complex intersection of female socialization, childhood and adolescent trauma, and relational struggles that can come between mothers and their children. It covers a broad range of topics, including anger and shame, sex and sexuality, discipline, codependency, and self-care. The curriculum will challenge participants and facilitators alike to approach the material with vulnerability to achieve lasting growth.

* Follow detailed plans for facilitating 16 two-hour sessions on issues related to parenting, designed specifically for mothers

* Help participants develop self-awareness and understand how their past trauma influences their emotions and behaviors

* Encourage strong mother-child relationships with skill-building exercises and activities

* Use techniques to foster safety, trust, openness, and honesty in group settings

This curriculum is for all moms, with children of all ages--especially those who have found themselves in child protective services or some other aspect of the child welfare system.
