Moms Like Me, a powerful, multi-dimensional event to raise awareness, lessen shame, and provide resources and information about the postpartum experience happens every year in the spring in Bozeman, Montana. Many mothers and families feel alone during the major life transition of growing a family. The goal of Moms Like Me is to change that - to air the laundry, so to speak - so that parents everywhere will look around and feel, "yes, me too. I am not alone, we are not alone." By building community, Moms Like Me creates a safe space for connection and a bridge to local resources.
In our 4th year, Moms Like Me 2020 is going to knock your socks off! This year 5 courageous women will take the stage to share their honest stories of becoming mothers and, new this year, our Mom Band will share their hearts through music.

History of Moms Like Me
In the spring of 2016 following a series of inspirational and tragic events that highlighted the need for maternal mental health support, a group of engaged mothers and professionals rallied to form the Maternal Mental Health Collective to “do something” about the lack of resources for postpartum women in the Gallatin Valley. The initial collective included psychotherapists, lactation counselors, doulas, naturopaths, and other proactive mothers who worked tirelessly to put together the first annual event, Moms Like Me: Shattering the Myth of the Postpartum Experience in February 2017. Over 150 people attended the first Moms Like Me event to hear three women sharing their heartfelt stories of the postpartum experience followed by a panel of professionals working in this developmental stage.
Based on the enthusiastic response from the community and the hundreds of families undergoing the transition from pregnancy to parenthood every year, the collective acknowledged the need to host this event annually. To support their efforts, Roots Family Collaborative stepped in to provide sustainability and ensure that the committee is poised to proactively address maternal mental health in our community.
In May 2018, Moms Like Me celebrated over 100 people at the second annual event, showcasing three new storytellers and seven professionals. The committee continues to stay connected with the local community on social media providing information and resources. Each year, the Moms Like Me planning committee is dedicated to improving the experience to best meet the needs of our community.
The third annual Moms Like Me on March 3, 2019 at the historic Rialto downtown Bozeman was a HUGE success, hosting over 200 people to raise awareness, shed light on the realities of the postpartum experience and connect the community to resources.
