Welcome to Mothers United And Empowered, Inc.

Mothers United and Empowered, Inc. (MUAE) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of empowering first-time expectant mothers (18+) who are facing homelessness to overcome their circumstances. We envision establishing a maternity shelter in the future. In the meantime, we aim to provide elements of the services we plan to offer at our shelter by engaging directly with the Westchester County community.

How We Can Help Now

Education through Workshops/ Coaching Through Parenting Journey

In the summer of 2025, we introduced educational workshops. We provided workshops on trauma and stages of child development from birth to 6 years. We will continue to provide seminars that enrich our mothers' knowledge, enabling them to become successful parents.

Parenting Journey at MUAE. Parenting Journey is a strength-based experiential group that helps mothers build confidence, deepen self-reflection, and strengthen their parental approach in a non-judgemental community. At MUAE, Parenting Journey will be offered as part of our trauma-informed maternal wellness continuum and is facilitated by a trained Practitioner who guides participants through meaningful conversations, hands-on activities, and reflective exercises designed to nurture growth and healing.

Mental Health Access

Starting in the winter of 2027, we will be partnering with a clinical practice that will provide therapy services to support expectant mothers who are dealing with mental health challenges or who require individualized support managing life as first-time mothers. Imagine a first-time mom feeling overwhelmed as she prepares for her new baby. Imagine being a mom who has experienced trauma in the past and is navigating the emotional challenges that pregnancy can bring. We aim to bridge emotional gaps by partnering with the clinical practice who will this support to our mothers.

Resources and referrals

We support mothers in our community by providing resources and referrals whenever they reach out to us. Our Resource and Referral system, which is continually updated, offers detailed information about services available within the Westchester area. For instance, if a mother needs assistant from the Department of Social Services, we ensure they have access to the relevant details provided on the department's official website.
