Feel Better Mom
What IS Feel Better Mom?
The Short Answer:
Feel Better Mom is Feel Better Foundation's hybrid online and in-person community for mothers of children with special health care needs—including bereaved mothers.
We create opportunities for women to connect, learn, advocate, heal, and support one another throughout every stage of their journey. Feel Better Mom offers special events designed to support healing and connection among medical moms. From advocacy trips to Capitol Hill and empowerment photoshoots to group therapy, cooking classes, and pampering days—we do it all.
Join Our Feel Better Mom: Support Group on Facebook and stay updated on all our events and resources!
Our goals are to:
-
Empower mothers to share their lived experiences and use their voices to advocate for meaningful systemic change.
-
Promote equitable, patient- and family-centered care that recognizes the needs of both children and their caregivers.
-
Increase health literacy by helping mothers better understand their child’s condition, care, and rights while encouraging their meaningful inclusion as members of the care team.
-
Raise awareness of often-overlooked caregiver challenges, including medically induced PTSD, anxiety, grief, and other physical, mental, and secondary impacts of caring for a medically complex child.
-
Build a strong, compassionate network so no mother feels she has to navigate this journey alone.
Feel Better Mom ensures that every program, resource, and opportunity is shaped by lived experience and reflects the real needs of the families we serve.

Feel Better Mom Respite Retreat is our signature event—an exclusive, local weekend getaway for medical moms at any stage: treatment, maintenance, survivorship, or bereavement. These retreats offer time to rest, connect, and recharge—so moms can continue showing up for their families with strength.
“So refreshing for the soul… It’s necessary to escape and reset—guilt-free! Thank you, Feel Better Foundation!”- Macee H
Retreats are held twice a year in May and October. Applications open in March and August on our Facebook and Support Group pages. Attendees are selected by a dedicated team of nonprofit leaders and volunteers.
