Community Mentors for Moms Act

Community Mentors for Moms Act

This bill requires the Health Resources & Services Administration to make grants for demonstration projects that provide community-based maternal mentoring, which may include dedicated individual mentors and networks of peer and community support groups.

Bill 117 hr 8669, also known as the Community Mentors for Moms Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to establish a program that would provide support and mentorship to mothers who are experiencing challenges related to mental health, parenting, or other issues.

Under this bill, the Department of Health and Human Services would be responsible for implementing and overseeing the Community Mentors for Moms program. The program would involve recruiting and training mentors who have experience and expertise in areas such as mental health, parenting, and community resources.

These mentors would then be matched with mothers who are in need of support and guidance. The mentors would provide one-on-one support, resources, and referrals to help these mothers navigate their challenges and improve their overall well-being. The goal of the Community Mentors for Moms Act is to provide a valuable support system for mothers who may be struggling with various issues, ultimately improving outcomes for both the mothers and their children. This bill aims to promote mental health, strengthen families, and build stronger communities through mentorship and support.
