As the demands on today’s mothers grow, balancing caregiving, self-care, careers, decision-making, and emotional strain amid personal and societal stressors, the toll on cognitive and emotional well-being is increasingly evident. Chronic stress impacts more than mood; it affects sleep, memory, decision-making, and overall brain function. Yet, neuroscience shows that with targeted support, the brain can recover and build lasting resilience.
The new GoMo Health white paper, Resilient Minds: Supporting Maternal Brain Health in Times of Crisis, developed in collaboration with the Center for BrainHealth® at The University of Texas at Dallas, examines the neuroscience behind maternal brain health and cognitive overload. It explores long-term consequences of unmanaged stress and shares actionable, evidence-based strategies to support women across life stages, offering insights applicable to digital health initiatives at scale:
- Discover how chronic stress rewires the maternal brain, and what neuroscience reveals about reversing the damage
- Explore the hidden toll of stress on sleep, memory, and emotional regulation in daily life
- Learn about proven, scalable strategies that support mothers without adding burden to care teams
- Gain insights from a pioneering maternal brain health program developed with the Center for BrainHealth® at The University of Texas at Dallas
Grounded in behavioral science and designed for implementation within public and private health systems, the Women, Children, and Families Engagement Hub demonstrates how proactive, culturally responsive communication can improve health equity, reduce preventable complications, and enhance service coordination, while scaling support providers can provide.
Program participants have reported the following Key outcomes:
- 98% Participant satisfaction, with a high level of perceived value from program participants
- 58% Decrease in depressive symptoms
- 42% Reduction in stress symptoms, demonstrating mental health benefits from non-clinical digital engagement
- 31% Increase in working memory
- 27% Improvement in flexible thinking
- 23% Enhancement in complex reasoning, supporting the link between mental wellness and cognitive resilience
This white paper offers a replicable framework for hospitals and health systems, health plans, government agencies, and community-based organizations seeking to align digital engagement strategies with quality improvement goals, cost containment, and person-centered care. Explore how this approach can inform your own digital implementation strategy.
