The Mamás Compartiendo Y Sanando Program (Moms Sharing and Healing) provides biweekly grief support groups and peer navigation for grieving Spanish-speaking moms and pregnant moms. On top of losses including death and deportation, many of the participants are thousands of miles away from their own families, separated by borders.
The Compartiendo y Sanando program at Gerard’s House strives to:
(1) Create a safe and nurturing space for young parents where we bring awareness about behavioral health and how it can directly impact the young parents’ children
(2) Be a resource for young parents who feel they have no one to turn to during vulnerable and challenging times
(3) Provide individual crisis response and wrap-around services
