  Sisters Helping Sisters, Inc. was founded in 1997 by Teri Worten, a single mom in Kansas City. She recognized that many single moms - regardless of race, education and economic backgrounds - struggled with similar challenges of parenting alone. Seeing a need, she marketed single mom support groups by hanging flyers in Kansas City libraries and daycare centers. The organization quickly grew to almost four-hundred members. For her work with single mothers, she has been featured on:
 settled into her new life.However, no one did "pick up" the support groups. "I just couldn't let it go", says Teri, "single moms still need a venue to meet, learn and support one another". As a result, Teri Worten Brooks, with the help of several volunteers, is again facilitating the meetings at local libraries!  Teri is devoted to inspiring single moms to be all they can become through meetings, events and the SHS website. The website features resources for single moms who need help in Kansas City, as well as interesting links and articles. Over the years, she has created several online support venues for single moms, including: Single Mom Inspiration and GottaBeMeGirl.Com for the twenty-somethings. However, the monthly meetings are the most productive form of support and information-sharing. The meetings provide a system to guide moms toward incorporating balance, self-assurance and parental confidence into their lives. Each month features a skilled speaker and a lively facilitated conversation. And the best is yet too come! |
