The 2nd annual Mothers Matter Empowerment Event was held recently at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) 13D Research and Strategy Innovation Center, bringing together 73 mothers to celebrate their strength, resilience, and dedication. Hosted by the Access and Visitation Program of the V.I. Department of Justice, Paternity and Child Support Division, the empowering event united a coalition of five partner agencies to offer a day full of inspiration, support, and recognition.
The partner agencies included: UVI Center for Excellence in Leadership and Learning (UVI CELL), Family Resource Center, Virgin Islands Police Department, Department of Human Services - The Office of Child Care and Regulatory Services, and Inspire V.I. LLC.
The event sought to create a network of support for mothers and foster positive communication between mothers and non-custodial fathers. By promoting parental engagement, the initiative aims to strengthen family relationships and enhance the well-being of children.
“The Mothers Matter Empowerment Event reflects our deep commitment to strengthening families and supporting parents across the Virgin Islands,” said Attorney General Gordon C. Rhea. “When we invest in mothers, we invest in the well-being of our children and the future of our communities. I commend the Access and Visitation Program and all partnering agencies for their collaboration and dedication to this important work.”
