Community Members Learn Why Mothers Need Each Other at Open House Also, visitors included Mothers’ Center members, alumni and business people interested in learning more about the work of the Mothers’ Centers. Linda Juergens, Executive Director of the NAMC, shared with visitors about the work of the organization, “With the increased pressure that families face today, we know for certain that the support, connection and information the NAMC has provided to thousands of mothers and families for over 3 decades is more important than ever.” Several Mothers’ Center members shared their personal stories during brief presentations given each hour. Sandy Spires from the Linda Boyce – center liaison for Unity Circle Mothers Center of Hempstead, first had interaction with the NAMC over 10 years ago when she and her 12 year old daughter Angeleta attended a Mother/Daughter retreat with other Don Levine came with his wife, Bonnie – a Mothers’ Center alum. Don shared how much he benefited from knowing that Bonnie was getting much needed relief through her connections with the Mothers’ Center since they went through a tough time with a colicky baby. As a “Dad alike” who got relief from the crying when he went off to work, but came home to a stressed out wife, he was able to experience more peace with his wife because she had women who could give her suggestions, help and reassurance that everything would be okay. The NAMC is the leading organization that recognizes the challenges, realities and importance of mothering, offering programs that educate and support mothers in local centers, in libraries and in the workplace, as well as doing advocacy in the fields of postpartum depression, early care and education, work/life balance and the economic impact of being a care giver.
