My Why (Brittany Wilson, Communications Lead)

Our modern culture has stripped away the ‘village’ parents once relied on, leaving many isolated and at risk. Every mom and family deserves better support in the perinatal space. I help strengthen family systems so children can grow up healthier, shaping a stronger next generation.

Sunny- for all the women who felt isolated, unseen and lost. Struggled big time as a military spouse with a lack of known resources. Immigrant families are taught to shut up and endure so the isolation was BIG

Molly-Secretary: I experienced postpartum OCD myself and had no idea what was happening to me in the moment- all i knew about was PPD. I had all the support in the world and still felt like I was drowning. I wanted to take my experience and share it to let others know they aren't alone!!

As a mom and someone who has experienced a PMD, I want to provide support and education to other moms and families. I am especially passionate about bringing more resources and services to Sussex County.

I have some family members with anxiety and depression and I want to normalize conversations about mental health. I have worked with mothers and families and want to bring PSI support and other resources to them.

Every birthing person deserves a safe space where their voice is amplified throughout the entire birthing and postpartum journey. As a teen mom, I had the privilege of having someone advocate for my birthing journey and I want to be that for others in having equitable, accessible, and culturally appropriate care.

I'm passionate about supporting parents during pregnancy and childbirth; especially those from underserved communities who often go unheard. I know what it feels like to be dismissed and not taken seriously. That experience led to the devastating loss of my first son.

Because of that, I’ve made it my mission to speak up, raise awareness, and help make sure no one else has to go through what I did. Every parent deserves to be seen, heard, and treated with respect. I'm here to help change the system so more babies come home and more parents feel safe, supported, and empowered during birth.
