We Are Brave Together is a non-profit organization, rooted in Southern California, that provides an international community of support for “Caregiving Moms”—moms caring for children or adult children with any diagnosis, disability or challenge: physical, medical, mental, emotional, behavioral. Our current membership of almost 3,500 moms represents all 50 states and 28 countries.
Since inception, our primary mission is to combat the isolation, loneliness, and compassion fatigue that these mothers face, and create opportunities for education, empowerment, support and connection. We know that our brave mothers are at great risk for burnout, depression, and anxiety, so our mission is to truly preserve and protect their mental health with all our offerings. We believe if you educate and support a mom, you educate and support a whole family. We offer a host of resources to empower mothers in their unique and difficult journeys.
Specifically, We Are Brave Together brings forward a dual-approach of traditional and virtual support through group meetings, educational workshops, low-cost retreats all over the United States, and social activities. We also provide online support resources through our Brave Together Parenting podcast, YouTube channel, monthly newsletters, blog posts and social media feeds. Most recently we released our first anthology, Becoming Brave Together: Heroic, extraordinary caregiving stories from mothers hidden in plain sight, to raise awareness about extreme caregiving and to shout the worth of caregiving and parent caregivers.
