		Motherhood can be exhilarating, frightening, joyful, anxiety-producing, confusing, and can also be the most fulfilling yet undervalued job in the world.  Mothers' Centers offer mothers a place to learn, to listen and to be listened to.
  
The National Association of Mothers' Centers (NAMC) addresses the needs of mothers through a network of programs that: 
		
			
				  | 
				offer information and support | 			
			 
			
				  | 
				break the isolation of motherhood | 			
			 
			
				  | 
				advance maternal health and well-being | 			
			 
			
				  | 
				recognize the importance of mothers to society, valuing both their paid & unpaid work | 			
			 
			
				  | 
				become caring communities for mothers and families. | 			
			 
			
				  | 
				and so much more... | 			
			 
		 
	
	
		
			
				  | 
			 
			
				  | 
			 
			
				  | 
				  | 
				Want to meet other mothers? Looking for a supportive place to share your experiences and learn more about your child's development? Find a Mothers' Center in your community. |
