Mother's Day is a day to celebrate and honor the women who have raised us, cared for us, and loved us unconditionally. We asked several of our Brave Care mothers to share some of their favorite things about being a mom. Here's what they said:

 “I have the privilege of loving and supporting my children as they grow into whatever and wherever their wildest dreams can take them. They will always look back and see me right behind them, smiling with so much love and pride (and snacks)." -Niki, Medical Team

"Being surprised when my children learn a new skill and can apply it. It's always the hardest part of motherhood when they no longer need me! But it's also the most rewarding aspect, and it means that I've given them the support they needed.”- Jessa, Financial Team

“I love that each day is an adventure and that my little one looks to me as her support, guide, and friend along the way. I know this season will not last and she will become more and more independent as the years pass but I’m trying to soak in as many of the moments as I can despite how exhausting it can be at times. I’m sure gonna miss these days when she does it all on her own." - Jountiá, Marketing Team

"I love watching my toddler daughter grow and develop into her own unique, funny, sweet little person, and as she starts to explore the world and experience new things. - Sarah, Medical Team

"My kids are teens now, and while that means fewer snuggles and more eye rolls (ugh. mom.), there is a newer joy in all they have to teach me. I have a playlist of the songs they introduced me to, a too-long reading list for which they're my cliff notes, and a worldview that occasionally gets rocked off its axis. sometimes even in a good way.” - Kelli, Product Team

Becoming a mother is one of the wildest experiences I have ever had. Most days seem difficult to manage but when my 2-year-old asks me for a hug randomly and gives me a kiss on the cheek it makes the days less difficult. Some highlights are singing along to the Disney channel soundtrack in the car, building tents in the lounge with all of the pillows and blankets we can find, and then cheering and high-fiving when she has done something new/scary or difficult because it means she is becoming a strong independent human." - Jayde, Receptionist Team

"Exploring with Halle and getting to witness what makes her joyous. - Amanda, Medical Team

"Unconditional love - who knew you could love someone so much after just meeting them and then unconditionally no matter how much they amaze and surprise you thereafter!" - Jacy, People Ops

The reflections from some of our Brave Care mothers show the different joys and challenges of motherhood. From watching their children grow and learn new things, to experiencing the unconditional love that comes with being a mother, these reflections remind us of the immeasurable value of a mother's role in a child's life.

It's heartwarming to see how much love and pride these mothers have for their children, and how they cherish every moment with them, no matter how small. As we celebrate Mother's Day, let's take a moment to honor and appreciate all the mothers in our lives for the sacrifices they make, the love they give, and the impact they have on their children's lives.

Thank you to all the mothers out there for everything you do. Happy Mother's Day!

Recently, KATU News published a story titled "Healthcare Professional's Advice: Opening up Conversation about School Shootings with Kids." The article featured an interview with Brave Care Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Corey Fish. In the interview, Dr. Fish emphasized the importance of having an open and honest conversation with children about school shootings.

School shootings have become all too common in our society and it is important for parents to talk to their children about what to do in case of an emergency. Dr. Fish suggests that parents start by asking their children what they already know about school shootings and then provide age-appropriate information to fill in any gaps.

"Our kids are familiar that this is happening or aware that this is happening. How do we have that conversation and sort of talk about it in an age-appropriate way?" 

In a past Brave Care blog post, "Talking to Children About Trauma," the importance of asking them how they feel and helping them feel safe was emphasized. This holds true when talking to children about school shootings as well. 

Start the conversation now and try not to get wrapped up in saying the right thing. Having an open and honest conversation with children about school shootings is important in helping them feel prepared and safe as well as addressing any grief they may be experiencing. 

"The most important piece of advice is to just start the conversation, ask the question, check in with your kids, and see how they're feeling...."


If you have any concerns about your child's mental wellness please talk to your child's pediatrician today or book an appointment with one of our amazing providers to help find resources during these challenging times. 

"Talking to your child's healthcare provider about how to get in and get plugged into the mental health services is a really good first step."

At Brave Care, we believe that every child deserves access to high-quality healthcare. We work tirelessly to ensure that every child who walks through our doors receives the care they need to thrive. However, we know that we cannot do this alone. That's why we partner with community organizations to extend our reach and impact even further.


Our community partnerships are an essential part of our mission to help every child succeed. We work with a variety of organizations, including schools, birth workers, and local nonprofits to provide healthcare services, education, and support to families in need.


One of the ways we partner with the community is through our partner events. These events bring together local organizations and families to connect, learn, and access resources. We host and attend events such as flu clinics, back-to-school drives, and childbirth education classes to provide families with the tools and information they need to stay healthy and thrive.


Our community partners are instrumental in helping us reach families who might not otherwise have access to healthcare services. By working together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.


At Brave Care, we are committed to building strong partnerships with our community. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children and families in our community. If you are interested in partnering with us email community@bravecare.com today. Below, you will find a list of our community partners that we are currently working with within the Portland, Beaverton, and Austin communities.
