The Good Moms Project
The GOOD MOMS Project is a hospital-based initiative designed to ensure every birthing parent receives emotional support at discharge. Aligned with the Joint Commission’s perinatal care mandate for comprehensive discharge planning, this project proposes that each patient receive a copy of Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts—a therapeutically-informed, illustrated guide that normalizes scary thoughts, encourages self-compassion, and offers actionable steps toward postpartum emotional wellness.​
Hospitals participating in this initiative demonstrate a strong commitment to equity, compassion, and excellence in maternal mental health.
