Tips for MOM's groups
The Institute of American Values "Motherhood Study (more info below)
http://www.motherhoodproject.org
The Institute of American Values has published "The Motherhood Study," featuring findings from a nationally representative survey of more than 2,000 mothers. Key findings include: (1) The majority of mothers place a high priority on reducing family violence and promoting healthy marriages; (2) They would like more attention paid to the issue of financial security for mothers; and (3) They want to be employed, but in positions that demand less of their time. The report includes a study guide to help groups of mothers begin a discussion around the questions raised in the report. This could be an excellent resource for a MOMS group.
