Here's how Black Mamas ATX is supporting the mental health of our community.

Soothe Your Nerves is a no-cost virtual anxiety support group that draws upon the strength, courage, and culture found in Black Women’s friendship networks. We have adapted this support group from the Soothe Your Nerves book and curriculum that was created by a Black psychologist; Dr. Angela Neal-Barnett, to provide Black women with a space to speak their truth, to be heard, embraced, and received in a loving, relatable way that supports, encourages, and empowers.

Black Mamas ATX sponsors confidential psychotherapy & counseling with Black therapists for: trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting & relationships, family dynamics, intimate partner violence, spirituality and other concerns. This therapy is available to all Black Mamas ATX clients and to clients of other Maternal Health Equity Collaborative (MHEC) organizations.

As our End of Year Campaign continues, your contributions will help provide essential mental health resources to Black mothers and birth givers. Check out this link https://blackmamasatx.com/?give=PYEVM6DX to donate today!

This holiday season, consider the impacts of vitamin D deficiency! A lack of vitamin D is especially common among highly melanated folks and a lack of vitamin D around conception or early development of an embryo can contribute to miscarriage or pregnancy loss. Sunlight is our primary source of vitamin D, but when it's time to bundle up or stay cozy indoors, consider alternative sources of vitamin D:
- Fish and Seafood
- Egg Yolks
- Fortified Milk and Cereal
- Dietary Supplements

In 2026, Black Mamas ATX will provide our doula clients with prenatal vitamins from Vitamin Angels that have 33% of the recommended daily value of vitamin D3. Help power this work by contributing to our End of Year campaign today! https://blackmamasatx.com/?give=PYEVM6DX

Dou-Bro Spotlight: William "Mo" Morrison

William "Mo" Morrison is a husband and father to a toddler. He is a North Carolina native with a background in the restaurant industry. He has a deep passion for animals and a strong commitment to supporting families. His transition into the role as a Dou-Bro stems from a deeply personal experience: his own challenging journey through his son's birth and the treatment he and his wife received. This experience ignited a drive within him to advocate for the importance of fathers being actively present during childbirth and to work towards changing the narrative within our community, ensuring that every family receives the care and support they deserve.

We are so grateful for our Dou-Bro and all of the support he brings to our team and the families he supports!

Looking back on our 2025 Black Maternal Health Week Summit
Rooted in Community: Advancing Black Maternal Health Through Education & Advocacy

Through engaging panels, interactive discussions, and action-oriented workshops, we explored the historical, social, and systemic factors shaping Black birthing experiences while equipping participants with tools for advocacy, culturally responsive care, and policy engagement.

This summit was designed to educate, empower, and mobilize providers, birth workers, policy advocates, and community members in the fight to improve Black maternal health.

Stay Tuned for Black Mamas ATX Summit during Black Maternal Health Week, April 11-17, 2026!

When a Black mother is supported to heal and find stability, the entire family and community benefits!

WARMTH (Wrap Around Resources for Maternal Transformative Healing) is our holistic support system for Black mothers and birthing people in Central Texas, providing mental health therapy, resource navigation, and practical aid such as rental, utility, and grocery assistance. This program helps families stabilize during pregnancy and postpartum with utility, grocery, and rental assistance at a time when too many families are experiencing the loss of SNAP benefits, jobs, and access to safety-net services. This is compounded by the fact that Black mothers experience compounding stress from systemic inequities, economic barriers, and racial bias in healthcare.

$2100 on average covers one month of WARMTH Program utility bill assistance. Your contributions directly support families and communities in meeting their needs during pregnancy and beyond. Donate today! https://blackmamasatx.com/?give=PYEVM6DX
