When Young Moms Thrive Video

Young mothers from our When Young Moms Thrive Initiative pose with their children

Our When Young Mom’s Thrive documentary just premiered on our website!!!

We know from the findings in our When Young Mom’s Thrive report that young mothers deal with a host of challenges that impact their ability to thrive, from high costs of childcare to cultural stigma embedded in the systems meant to protect and serve them.

The When Young Mom’s Thrive video/documentary, co-produced by fellows from When Young Mom’s Thrive We All Do initiative, examines the system failures that impede young mothers' access to adequate child care resources and celebrates their resilience in the face of these challenges. While this video focuses on young mothers in Santa Clara County, it is a reflection of the lived experiences of young moms statewide. 

Our hope is that this video not only paints a picture of childcare failures in the county but also inspires you all to take action for young families by challenging the cultural stigma that remains pervasive in our communities.
