Media
Mamas - Supporting healthy families by using technology as a
tool for self-expression, communication, and advocacy.
Media Mamas is the brainchild of a group of moms who came together
to find ways to document our unique experiences as parents.
We think media can be used to build stronger connections to
our families (both near and far), find creative outlets, and
tell the stories that are central to our ever-changing lives.
We want to share what we've learned with other parents, giving
them the tools they need to become Media Mamas (and Papas!)
Media
Mamas offers workshops, consulting, and post-production services
to teach parents how new media tools can be used to:
Document
your children’s lives
Express how it feels to be a parent
Connect with friends and family
Advocate for children and families
Our
Mission & Beliefs:
We believe that new media can support healthier families through
the following means:
• Allowing parents to reflect upon their parenting, to
express their creativity, to break silence and isolation around
parenting issues.
• Supporting families to document memories and to pass
on traditions to future generations.
•
Providing new media tools for groups and parents advocating
for healthier family policies.
• Bridging “the digital divide” by putting
new media tools in the hands traditionally underserved populations.
Media Mamas provides a broad range of services:
• One-time workshops & workshop series in digital
video, audio, blogging, and photography. Private workshops in
your house available.
• Home visits to provide one on one technical support
(including set-up).
• Customized DVD's from your home videos and photobooks.
• Consultation and learning materials creation for families
with special needs children.
• Consultation to and production for family centered non-profits.
