Teen Moms Anonymous
A nonprofit for teen moms.
Teen Moms Anonymous
Do you ever feel isolated? Alone? Overwhelmed? Maybe unsure of your future? Becoming a mother when you are still an adolescent, still finding and establishing yourself, has its challenges:
- How do I manage it all? School, parenting, a part-time job.
- How can I still enjoy being a teenager and a young woman?
- How do I deal with uncomfortable feelings and emotions - anxiety, depression, hopelessness?
Don't despair. Teen Moms Anonymous can help.
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting teen moms and adult mothers who were themselves teen moms, especially those who have survived violence and abuse.
Our focus is on promoting emotional health and wellness, recognizing that emotionally healthy mothers are better equipped to nurture their children’s emotional development.
Based in South Carolina and serving the Greenville and Spartanburg areas, we provide a safe and nurturing space where teen moms and adult mothers who were themselves teen moms can connect with others who have walked a similar path, find emotional and moral support, and find information and resources to grow into a more confident, skilled woman and mother.
Through our services, including support groups, a monthly blog, and a monthly podcast, we aim to address the unique challenges faced by teen moms as they navigate the complexities of parenthood while still finding and establishing themselves.
Currently, we operate as a volunteer-led organization with a small team of trained volunteers. As we expand, we envision becoming a central hub for information, resources, and community, offering comprehensive support that encompasses the eight dimensions of health and wellness: emotional, physical, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, and financial wellness.
Whether through our digital content or future in-person programs, we are committed to walking alongside teen moms and adult mothers who were themselves teen moms on their journey to emotional healing and empowerment.

Teen Moms Anonymous has profoundly impacted me in so many ways since I joined the July cohort. The founder Dr. Chris's dedication and the resources provided within her organization have been nothing short of inspirational. Throughout the program, I've delved into motherhood, using "The Emotionally Absent Mother" as a guiding tool, which has given me valuable insights into effective parenting. Additionally, the weekly discussions covering a wide range of topics, particularly those related to situations of abuse and parenting, have proven to be an invaluable source of support and empowerment. Through this group, I am looking forward to not only gaining new knowledge but also supporting other teen moms to feel a sense of belonging and solidarity while fostering personal growth and resilience.
