Our Programs
Olivia’s Herd is a maternal health initiative of Alice’s Heart Inc., created to provide compassionate support, education, and advocacy for expectant and postpartum mothers. Rooted in love, faith, and lived experience, Olivia’s Herd exists to ensure mothers feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout their maternal journey.
Through community-centered programming, Olivia’s Herd addresses critical gaps in maternal care by offering education on maternal health, pregnancy-related loss, patient advocacy, and emotional well-being. We place special emphasis on supporting Black mothers and families who are disproportionately impacted by maternal health inequities.
Our work honors the belief that no mother should walk alone. Olivia’s Herd creates safe spaces for connection, healing, and access to resources—before, during, and after pregnancy—while advocating for healthier outcomes for mothers and babies.
Mothers Helping Other Mothers
Community support when mothers need it most. MHOMs is a community-based support initiative designed to connect mothers and caregivers with trusted, practical help.
MHOMs: Mothers Helping Other Mothers
Community support when mothers need it most.
MHOMs is a community-based support initiative designed to connect mothers and caregivers with trusted, practical help during times when an extra set of hands can make all the difference. From short-term assistance and companionship to help navigating everyday tasks, MHOMs is rooted in the belief that no mother should have to do everything alone.
The program aims to strengthen a mother's support system, reduce isolation and caregiver stress, and create meaningful connections between mothers, families, and their communities.
HAVEN: Postpartum Support & Care
A safe place for mothers after birth.
HAVEN provides compassionate support for mothers as they navigate the physical, emotional, and social realities of the postpartum period. Recognizing that care for mothers should not end after delivery, HAVEN connects postpartum mothers with education, resources, peer and community support, and assistance addressing needs that can affect their recovery and well-being. HAVEN creates space for mothers to feel seen, supported, and cared for throughout the postpartum journey.
Noah's Ark
Supporting families through the NICU journey and beyond.
Noah's Ark supports parents and families navigating a NICU stay and the transition home. The program is designed to ease some of the practical and emotional burdens families may experience by connecting them with resources, transportation assistance, comfort items, education, and other supportive services. From the uncertainty of the NICU to the adjustment of bringing baby home, Noah's Ark reminds families that they do not have to navigate the journey alone.
HeartStrong Mothers
Helping mothers know their numbers, recognize the signs, and protect their hearts.
HeartStrong Mothers is Alice's Heart's maternal hypertension initiative supporting pregnant and postpartum mothers through blood pressure education, monitoring, early warning-sign awareness, and connection to appropriate healthcare and community resources.
Born from Founder & Executive Director Alicia Saunders' own experience with severe preeclampsia and pregnancy loss, HeartStrong Mothers equips pregnant and postpartum mothers across Metro Atlanta with the education, tools, and support to recognize warning signs early and access care before a crisis.
The program helps mothers better understand hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia and postpartum hypertension, while equipping them with tools to advocate for themselves before and after delivery. Through education, blood pressure monitoring, trusted support, and resource navigation, HeartStrong empowers mothers to recognize when something may be wrong and seek timely care.
