- Abstract
Mom2Mom is an attachment-based home visiting project for distressed mothers of young infants, based in Israel. Home visitors, who are volunteer mothers from the community, are trained and supervised by professionals. Home visits occur weekly for 1-2 hours and continue until the infant is 1 year old. The project was founded in Jerusalem in year 2000 and now has 16 branches throughout Israel and one in Australia. The establishment of Mom2Mom in multiple and diverse communities, as well as empirical data derived from evaluations, indicate that the project has merit as a community-based intervention project for families with young infants.
