Venture Description
The Parent Empowerment Network partners with Jewish institutions to enhance maternal mental health and support the wellbeing of parents with children 0-8. By leveraging existing support within Jewish institutions, the Parent Empowerment Network addresses critical gaps in maternal mental health and family well-being through evidence-based early detection and intervention, education, and comprehensive supports. The breakdown of traditional parenting support systems, isolation, and parental stress has created an untenable parenting environment. Jewish institutions can fill this gap while also increasing community engagement.
