Maternal Family Coaching - Moms2B participants will participate in an evidence-based coaching approach, Mobility Mentoring® allows providers to partner with families and individuals and help them acquire the resources, skills and sustained behavior changes necessary to attain and preserve their economic independence. Developed by Economic Mobility Pathways (EMPath), a Boston-based nonprofit, EMPath is known worldwide for their coaching approach, founded on the belief that each pathway out of poverty is different. Recognizing the need to shift the way human services delivery is done, EMPath turned to the brain science behind poverty and what the science tells us is poverty and stress compromise the skills and behaviors most necessary for people to lift themselves out of poverty. In response to this finding, EMPath has developed Mobility Mentoring and The Bridge to Self-Sufficiency®. Omega CDC will offer EMPath Mobility Mentoring out of its Hope Center for Families.
