Through the Mentor Mother Model, m2m employs local women living with HIV as paid Community Health Workers to meet the growing and urgent health needs of the communities we serve. These “Mentor Mothers” deliver integrated primary health care services to dramatically improve the health and wellbeing of women, children adolescents, families and special populations.
Emory has partnered with the m2m team to explore opportunities to bring m2m interventions into the United States South in areas that could benefit from building their capacity to care for and support women living with HIV.
