We believe mothers are often undervalued and marginalized in society. While we celebrate mothers each May on “Mothers Day,” we owe our mothers so much more than a one-day holiday. Recently, while speaking to several groups of mothers who were incarcerated, I was saddened by the alarming number of women who fall through the cracks in our society, whether because of poverty, substance abuse, mental health issues or lack of a support system. No matter, we must all do a better job of honoring our mothers!
