The MOMS Partnership Model is an evidence-based approach to maternal mental health for under-resourced families. It includes a series of interventions focused on stress management and parenting skills, which are provided in eight-week cycles to small cohorts of women. These courses are informed by cognitive behavioral therapy and aim to build skills for changing mood and behavior. MOMS courses are generally co-taught by two staff, a licensed clinician and a Community Mental Health Ambassador (CMHA), a peer role. CMHAs are mothers who share lived experience with participants and support participants over the course of the curriculum. The model has already proven to be effective in a range of settings in reducing mothers’ depressive symptoms while improving their employment outcomes and ability to support their families.
