ABOUT US
Single Mothers Empowerment Conference, Revive and Refresh is a statewide conference spearheaded by the Alabama Department of Public Health/Office of Women’s Health.
ABC 33/40 News Anchor, Reporter, Linda Mays serves as a spokesperson for this initiative. Ms. Mays is the single mother of 18 year old twins, a son and daughter in Birmingham. “I believe that being a mother is one of the greatest God-given honors that a woman can embrace. Being a single mother, the privilege comes with the tough task to satisfy the demands of raising children, heading a household, engaging a job and career, and reaching life’s goals.
It takes a strong network of support to bench press the daily challenges single parent women face.
We pray for two more loving hands to be there for the sons and daughters, renewed emotional strength daily to make wise decisions and mentors to offer insight and foresight as we aim to stay three steps ahead.”
The Single Mothers Empowerment Conference will help women:
rejuvenate their health, communication parenting skills;
reload their knowledge with resources to address life demands, budgeting, debt, education and business recharge their lives to move forward in their goals; renew their mindset, and their hearts.
release fear, worry and bitterness and simply be revived and refreshed.
The conference will also bring together experts to address issues that confront single mothers and explore ways to enhance and improve the circumstances faced by single parent women and their children.
It is made possible by a host of businesses, community and civic-minded organizations, volunteers, mentors and individuals who are dedicated to the success and positive future of families headed by single parent women in our community. We applaud every individual who chose to serve as ‘mirrors of compassion’ especially for single mothers and children.
