The support group occurs twice a month connecting via conference call and website. We feature speakers that educate & inspire. Interested mothers (parents) and friends are able to share concerns, needs, and stories; anonymously and without shame.
Mission
Mothers4Sons is to provide emotional and spiritual support, gas cards, and actively seek to change policies that directly impact the Primary Care Giver(PCG) and create partnerships for ongoing support for the PCG and the transition of inmates back into society. Seeking to partner with non-profit organizations to create Individual Training Programs, which provide counselors, mentors, job training and other transitional support.
Origin
The Vision of Mothers4Sons began tragically when the youngest son of the founder was arrested two days before his high school graduation and was sentenced to a minimun 10 years. On her way to the county jail, GOD spoke to her to create a forum by which she would be the first member. Since 2007, Mothers4Sons has grown to national attention featured on Man Up Monday's with nationally acclaimed host KD Bowe of My Praise ATL 102.5, Inspiration Station, Atlanta Live Gospel Show.
