Mission: Mothers on the Frontline is founded and run by mothers of children with mental health conditions to promote Children’s Mental Health Justice, Caregiver Justice, and Caregiver Healing through storytelling and our Wisdom Collective Methodology.
We understand the current children’s mental health crisis to be an institutional and structural social injustice that harms children, their caregivers, families, and communities.
Our vision is a world in which mental health is de-stigmatized, respected and prioritized as an integral part of the overall health of individuals, families, communities, and indeed, our nation and world.
