What inspires you most about the moms you work with?

A few team members answer the question, "What inspires you most about the moms you work with?"

Marva J., Community Health Worker
“They are very resilient, resourceful, and sacrifice so much of themselves to see their family succeed. They make it an obligation to be the best parent they can be for their children. I enjoy visiting with families to see their growth, self-sacrifice, determination and courage – it inspires me to continue supporting our moms.”
Emily V., RN, Care Manager
“Their strength. Every mom I work with shares the same strength, passion and joy in doing what’s best for her child. I feel honored when a mom allows me to be a small part of that journey with her.”
Kim W., RN, Care Manager
“Resiliency. Many of the moms I work with have had some sort of an adverse childhood experience, but they are motivated and want to do better for themselves and their children. Knowing that, my role as their care manager gives me an opportunity to mentor, encourage, educate, validate, and build resiliency in their lives.”
Dara O., Care Manager
"Their perseverance and love for their children. I'm always amazed at how clients despite having undergone childhood trauma, lack of resources, or lack of a social support system continue to have the will to keep fighting for their children and truly love their children.”
