CLEARWATER, FL, UNITED STATES, December 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Our Children Have Rights (OCHR) & The Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation (MAWF) announce partnership to provide no cost co-parenting education, doula care and wraparound support for families navigating child custody, co-parenting, pregnancy and postpartum across Tampa Bay.
The initiative enhances support for parents and caregivers by combining maternal and family health services with successful co-parenting strategies that strengthen family stability during pregnancy or post-partum for single, unmarried, separated and divorcing co-parents. Activities include award-winning workshops, joint community presentations, published educational materials, community events and outreach.
Co-Founder, Jake Hornstein, expressed enthusiasm and what the initiative means: “Pairing co-parent education for well-trained, compassionate Doulas is a powerful combination. Neighborhood partners like Maiye and TMAWF maximize the quality and scope of service we deliver to families.”
“Our Children Have Rights has been a powerful force in reshaping how families navigate co-parenting, and it’s an honor to stand beside an organization so deeply committed to the well-being of children,” said Maiye Waller, Founder & Executive Director, The Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation. “At The Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation, we believe that strong families — in all forms — create stronger communities. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to equity, support, and elevating the systems that protect our most vulnerable. We are proud to collaborate in a way that uplifts parents, centers children, and strengthens the village required for families to thrive.”
