YourMomCares is an incredible non-profit organization created by Sharon Feldstein (mother to actors Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein) and Patsy Noah (mother to Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine), and Terria Joseph (mother to Alicia Keys).” In 2014, Feldstein and Noah were brought together by the White House along with other moms to do a PSA for the Affordable Care Act. 

Inspired by an amazing group of women and leaders involved and immediately recognizing the power in the “Your Mom Cares” concept, they received permission from the White House to take ownership of the brand. From there, YourMomCares was started. With the help of other celebrity moms like Robin Paul (Chris Pauls’ mom) and Claire Stoermer (Zendaya’s mom), Terria Joseph (Alicia Keys’ mom) and Joann Lacono (Jimmy Kimmel’s mom), YourMomCares helps all children by creating and funding innovative, cutting-edge programs and solutions which have a direct impact on children’s mental health. And admirably, its mental health services are provided regardless of a family’s financial situation, race, gender or sexual orientation.

In October 2019, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sharon Feldstein and Patsy Noah by phone on behalf of the Jewish Journal. Less than a year later, I reconnected with Feldstein and Noah along with the aforementioned Terria Joseph and the organization’s COO Meredith B. Wolff, Esq. to learn about the latest developments related to YourMomCares, as embedded below.

Simply put, there is no shortage of wonderful things being done by YourMomCares even in the midst of the current COVID-19 pandemic. And as discussed with Feldstein, Noah, Joseph and Wolff, there is no shortage of amazing long-term partnerships which YourMomCares has going.
