Strong Mamas, Thriving Babies provides every growing family with the support, education, and community they need to navigate the first year postpartum with confidence. Families who deliver at participating hospitals receive a personal bedside visit from a program team member who introduces available resources, answers questions, and helps them enroll in the Strong Mamas app. Through the program, participants gain access to expert-led education, community connections, local resources, support groups, events, and ongoing encouragement throughout their postpartum journey. Families who do not deliver at a participating hospital are also welcome to enroll directly and access the same valuable support.

One-On-One Visits

Families who give birth at a participating hospital receive a personal bedside visit from a Strong Mamas program coordinator before heading home. During this one-on-one visit, families are introduced to the program, enrolled in the Strong Mamas app, connected with available resources, and provided an opportunity to ask questions about the support available throughout their postpartum journey. This personalized introduction helps ensure families leave the hospital feeling informed, connected, and supported from day one.

In-Person Gatherings

Families are invited back to connect with other Strong Mamas participants who are navigating a similar stage of parenthood. Through hospital gatherings, family nights, stroller walks, webinars, and other community events, participants have opportunities to build meaningful connections, share experiences, and find support along the way. Vetted community partners and local experts are also invited to provide education, resources, and practical tools that help families confidently navigate the postpartum journey and thrive together.

Personal Check-ins

Every family is offered ongoing support throughout the first year postpartum. Participants have opportunities to connect with program staff through phone calls, text messages, newsletters, and the Strong Mamas app to discuss how their journey is going, ask questions, and access resources tailored to their needs. We believe families deserve consistent support during this important season of life, and our program is designed to provide meaningful connection, encouragement, and guidance every step of the way.

App For Mamas

Every family in the program receives access to the Strong Mamas app, a central hub for connection, education, and support throughout the first year postpartum. Participants can connect with other families, explore blogs and expert resources, access community support, and stay informed through a calendar of upcoming events and family activities. The app also provides direct access to the YANA team, making it easy for families to find answers, discover local resources, and remain connected to a supportive community whenever they need it.

Hear from our Mamas

"This was my first time attending, and I am so excited to connect other moms in similar stages of parenting. Hearing others share birth stories and wins/challenges is so interesting and made me feel less isolating. "
"I loved meeting a group of moms who are in a similar phase of life as me and sharing experiences, celebrating wins and expressing challenges. It was nice being able to relate! "
"It’s nice to have a place to talk about our challenges and get advice from other people who have had the same challenge. It makes you feel normal and most importantly you feel seen."
