Stronger Parents, Healthier Families, Brighter Futures
Working together to break down economic barriers for parents in the perinatal period, ensuring every family has the resources to thrive from the start.
Every Parent Deserves A Strong Start
Too many families in Central Texas struggle to access basic resources that should never be out of reach—affordable childcare, quality healthcare, mental health support, and financial stability. These challenges don’t just make parenting harder; they widen disparities, deepen stress, and impact long-term health and well-being for both moms and babies.
Barriers to Economic Stability in Central Texas
CHILDCARE
Limited access to affordable childcare, making it harder for parents to work.
FINANCIAL HEALTH
Lack of financial assistance for essentials like rent, utilities, and groceries.
MEDICAL HEALTH
Gaps in maternal health services, leaving mothers without critical support.
MENTAL HEALTH
A growing need for mental health care to reduce stress, anxiety, and postpartum depression.

Circling Up to Improve Perinatal Outcomes
We are cultivating a group of diverse representatives across the community to create working solutions for pressing issues and needs that may lead to poor perinatal health outcomes.
Testimonials
The consortium gives me a reminder that I have access to a much needed community during this isolating postpartum stage in my life. I live in a very rural area with no close neighbors or mom groups. Just knowing about the village and other women in black moms makes me feel connected and supported in ways I really never have as an adult living in Central Texas. I’m so grateful for the resources, opportunities, and the pick me up gift cards I receive. They make me feel like a valued member of the alliance. Thank you.
