Help for New Moms in Santa Fe: Before, During and Post-Pandemic

When the pandemic forced schools and childcare centers to shut down, more than five million American mothers gave up their jobs.  Currently, The New York Times reports that 1.3 million of these women are still out of work.

As a result, the leaders of more than 200 small, medium and large companies have formed the Care Economy Business Council, which is urging sweeping reforms in the caregiving infrastructure so more mothers can return to work.

Here in Santa Fe, a small non-profit called Many Mothers has been supporting new mothers for more than two decades.  Deborah Begel reports.
