The first gender-appropriate, trauma-informed curriculum designed specifically for mothers
The Amazing Moms! curriculum consists of 16 two-hour, facilitated sessions that include activities, exercises, and experiential opportunities. The goal of the workshop is to help participants create a vision of the mother they want to be and provide the knowledge, tools, and confidence to achieve that vision. By encouraging participants to connect with the content on a personal level, the curriculum helps mothers improve their relationships with their children and other family members.
The Amazing Moms! curriculum—which includes a facilitator’s guide and participant workbook—goes beyond other parenting curricula to address the complex intersection of women’s socialization, childhood and adolescent trauma, and the relationship struggles that can arise between mothers and their children. The program covers a wide range of topics, including anger and shame, sex and sexuality, discipline, interdependence, and self-care. The curriculum challenges participants and facilitators to approach the material with vulnerability in order to achieve sustainable growth.
