Josie’s Grace was a great experience for me as a first-time mom. I was able to meet other moms who were sharing the same experiences as me as well as learn coping mechanisms. I learned to give myself grace and that motherhood is complex and it’s okay to ask for help. I would definitely recommend"


Josies's Grace Mama from May 2023

This is the resource I wish I had when I had my first baby. This program is extremely informative and supportive, and should be the standard of care for all new birthing parents, especially those with a history (personal or family) of mental illness.

The History and founding Program

Our story

President Biden signed the nearly $1.9 trillion dollar American Rescue Plan Act to provide COVID-19 relief to Americans. On December 1, 2021 Governor John Carney and Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long created a community-based mental health service fund. This funding supports the delivery of mental health services in Delaware communities.  From this grant opportunity, Josie's Grace was created to address the amplified mental distress in the perinatal dyad. Josie's Grace elevates the public health and hope of our communities by providing early access and free programming during the fourth trimester. Funding will provide a location and nursing care to new mothers experiencing high stress. This trauma-informed and psychiatric nurse practitioner-developed curriculum is maternal and infant mental health focused. 


After the initially funded year, the plan to establish a non-profit for sustainability in our community has begun to shape.   

Update: That Parent Place 501c3 attained exempt status as of December 2023.
