Mending Our Mistakes was created for the parents who feel forgotten by the system and overwhelmed by the barriers standing between them and their children.

About Us
Mending Our Mistakes (M.O.M.) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing family restoration through education, support, workforce development, historic preservation, and community collaboration. We believe lasting change happens when people are equipped with the knowledge, opportunities, and support they need to rebuild their lives with dignity, purpose, and hope.
Our work extends beyond individual programs. Every initiative is designed to strengthen families, preserve valuable community assets, and create sustainable solutions that produce lasting social impact.
Everything we do is built upon a clearly defined organizational foundation. Together, these principles shape our identity, guide our decisions, and establish the framework for our long-term mission.

Building a Foundation for Future Generations
Building a Foundation for Future Generations
Mending Our Mistakes exists to create solutions that endure. We are committed to developing programs, partnerships, and institutions that strengthen families today while preserving opportunities for future generations. Every initiative reflects our belief that restoration is not simply an act of service. It is an investment in stronger communities and a more resilient future.
Across the country, parents are routinely ordered to complete services, maintain employment, secure housing, attend counseling, pay child support, participate in visitation, and comply with a wide range of legal requirements. The expectation is that compliance will lead to stability. In practice, many families are attempting to satisfy those expectations while facing barriers that make success far more difficult than it appears on paper.
We believe this approach overlooks an important reality. Accountability and stability are not competing concepts. In many cases, accountability becomes possible only after the barriers preventing success have been identified and addressed.
Our goal is not to excuse harmful behavior or eliminate accountability. Our goal is to help families build the stability necessary to meet their responsibilities, maintain healthy relationships, and create better outcomes for their children.
The challenges facing families involved in custody disputes, child support cases, supervised visitation matters, reentry, and other complex situations are often treated as separate problems. We believe they are frequently connected manifestations of the same underlying issue: instability.
Mending Our Mistakes exists to help families address those underlying barriers before they become permanent obstacles to restoration, reunification, and long-term success.
We exist because families are more than a case file and people are more than their mistakes.
