We are honored to work with the following groups:

MomsRising
This fantastic organisation has many of the same goals as MotherWoman. MomsRising has "a goal of championing core motherhood and family issues in political, social, and economic spheres." MomsRising.org is a site that "enables moms (and all who have moms) to connect, learn, and amplify each other's voices as we find ways to truly support families."

Postpartum Support International
MotherWoman is a member organization of PSI. "Many women are not prepared for the wide range of emotions they may experience after the birth of a child. They often feel sadness, anger, anxiety, or a sense of inadequacy." MotherWoman directly addresses these issues.
