Jennifer Norris-Hale with Mission Motherhood, a collective community impact initiative that was created to help support and advocate for maternal mental health in the Fort Wayne community by providing specialized resources for mothers experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Mission: Motherhood community-based initiatives exist thanks to strategic partnerships with the Allen County Drug and Alcohol Consortium, Associated Churches, Bridge of Grace Compassionate Ministries, Courageous Healing and the Parkview YMCA. 

Mission: Motherhood provides a virtual/in-person support network, motherhood mentoring program, "Just Between Mothers" and is in the process of utilizing an evidence-based curriculum that will help prevent maternal mental health conditions at prenatal and postpartum stages in marginalized communities.
