In light of May being Maternal Mental Health Month, we wanted to share that has some limited availability in their Solo Moms Group. The members discuss life during and after divorce and navigate how to go about their new roles post divorce. The group meets from 8:00-9:15pm on Thursdays. The cost is $25 per session and is open to members in DC, MD, VA, NY, & FL. They take multiple in-network insurances.

Having a support system is so important for single moms. So, if this seems like something you would be interested in, please reach out for more details!

May is Military Appreciation Month and as such, we want you to thank all our military moms, followers, and donors for their service!!

May is Maternal Mental Health Month. In light of this, we would like to discuss Perinatal depression, and some potential forms of treatment. Perinatal depression, or major depressive disorder with perinatal onset, is depression that begins in the period from conception to after pregnancy.

Potential treatment options that may reduce perinatal depression symptoms:

1. Talk with a mental health professional, perhaps even before childbirth
2. Undergo depression screening while pregnant and right after childbirth
3. Try to get regular exercise
4. Attempt 7-8 hours of sleep each night
5. Spend time with friends and family

Don’t forget that Mother’s Day is coming up!! You still have two weeks left to come up with a gift for the Moms in your life! 🤍

If you would like to help out some of our single moms on Mother’s Day, considering donating so they can receive the resources they need!

In light of National Counseling Month, we wanted to reach out to any counselors or mental health professionals who would be willing to partner with Mother Boost to help us provide discounted services to our single moms in need! If this sounds like something you would like to do, or if you know anyone who would like to help out, please send us a DM!

It’s National Counseling Month! Did you know that every federal agency and many private sector companies have Employee Assistance Programs? EAP’s offer financial, legal and psychological help often free of charge. For example, if you are a federal employee, you and your family members are entitled to six free sessions per issue per calendar year! You can even receive six free sessions of couples counseling if you work for the federal government. Reach out to your EAP coordinator today to see how you can take advantage of these incredible and often under utilized benefits!

Don’t forget today is tax day! Today we want to remind you that donations made to Mother Boost are tax deductible! Thank you for all of your support this year 🤍

There are so many ways to support nonprofits if you can’t directly donate! Something as simple as sharing our post can help get us out there and hopefully to a mom in need!

Have you heard of Anonymous Giving Week? It’s a thing! And it’s going on right now during the third full week of March! The purpose of this week is to underscore the importance of giving and helping others while acknowledging that acts of kindness don’t necessarily need to be taken credit for. Mother boost has created a GoFundMe that will allow for either anonymous or non-anonymous donations. Please consider donating or if you can’t, sharing the GoFundMe link with your contacts! Thank you so much!

The daily challenge of feeding, caring for, and educating our children is tough enough. Adding the stress of earning enough money to support your family as a single mom makes it even tougher. That is why it is so important to keep these tips in mind:

⏰ Determine where you can save time in your daily routine by prioritizing what is most important to you and your family.

🥰 Remember small moments matter- whether it is driving to school, waiting for a doctor, waiting on line at a store, use this time to remind your kids how much they mean to you.

🏡 Be creative in developing a support network. If you don’t have family nearby or friends from school/community groups, join a local moms or single moms Facebook group. These women may become close friends that allow for babysitter swaps or can recommend a trusted babysitter.

Just remember that everyone’s situation is unique and your solutions may look different than someone else’s and that’s ok! You are an amazing mother who is self-reliant, creative, and flexible! 🤍
