Teen Moms Anonymous
A ministry for teen mothers.
Teen Moms Anonymous
We are a ministry dedicated to supporting teen mothers and adult mothers who were teen mothers, especially those who have survived violence and abuse.
Our focus is on promoting emotional health and wellness because we know that emotionally healthy mothers are better equipped to nurture their children’s emotional development. We provide online content through our blog and podcast.
We're making an impact!
Our digital/online content is heard and viewed in cities across the U.S. and around the world. Our reach is significant because the average Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) score of our members is 6. This is likely the case for many more teen mothers and adult mothers who were teen mothers, and research reveals that individuals with an ACEs score of 4 or higher are 4.5 times more likely to develop depression.
Through our digital/online content we are reaching and helping teen mothers and adult mothers who were, heal from depression and other trauma related disorders (anxiety, addiction, PTSD, etc.). In turn, this enables mothers to nurture the healthy emotional development of their children, ultimately breaking cycles of trauma that have persisted across generations.
Blog
Our blog is making an impact. We have received over 700 page views. The top four blogs have been viewed over 100 times each. Six blogs have been viewed over 50 times each.

Country

Volunteer Led
Currently, we operate as a volunteer-led ministry. As we expand, we envision becoming a central hub for information, resources, and community, offering comprehensive support for mothers and their children.
Support Groups
We offer in-person support groups for those living in the Greenville/Spartanburg area of South Carolina. In our in-person community, we provide a safe and nurturing space where teen mothers and adult mothers who were teen mothers can connect with others who have walked a similar path, find emotional and moral support, and information and resources to help them grow into a more confident, skilled woman and mother.
Testimonial --
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.
