La MamTra: Latinas lifting each other from motherhood to employment

Latina labor fuels the U.S. economy, yet systems overlook their wellbeing, leaving mothers navigating inaccessible services amid social and political pressures. LaMamtra offers a collective care model to support Latina mothers and babies during their first 1,000 days as a dyad. The model follows a shared risk-benefit principle and aims to reduce maternal isolation, strengthen personal skills, and create spaces for professional growth during one of the most transformational times of the lifecourse.
