Supporting Birth Moms

Inter-generational cycles of trauma, addiction and poverty are driving a current crisis in Saskatoon of family breakdown and child removal. But many birth moms are working to heal and be restored to care for their children.

Often this involves walking away from past relationships and situations in order to provide the safety, stability and new start their family needs. This means they face building a life on their own, without the village of relationships and supports every parent needs. Many of the mothers involved in child welfare were never parented themselves.

Sons & Daughters mobilizes volunteer families from within Saskatoon churches to join together and stand alongside these mothers in intentional, committed friendships: journeying alongside them in relationship as they navigate the beautiful but bumpy life of a family.

Sons & Daughters is proud to partner with Sanctum 1.5 in this initiative.
