ABOUT IBDMOMS

IBDMoms is a resource and tool created by moms with ​inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for moms affected by ​inflammatory bowel disease as patients or caregivers.


IBDMoms was started in 2018 by IBD advocates, Brooke Abbott ​& Amber Tresca. What began as a hashtag has grown into a ​501(c)3 non-profit that provides education, resources, and ​donations and hosts social events to ensure that the IBDMoms ​community has what they need to live their best lives despite ​IBD.

The IBDMoms advocacy initiatives include legislative ​advocacy and activism. We teach advocates, patients and ​care partners how to advocate successfully with their ​local, state and national legislators through workshops ​and webinars. In addition to this, IBDMoms joins other ​advocacy groups in Washington D.C. throughout the year ​to advocate to Congress about policies related to ​maternal health, health equity, GI related health policies ​and research budgets.

While on the Hill, we often share stories with legislators ​that patients and care partners share with us. These ​stories are vital to moving legislation through Congress ​effectively. If you would like to share your story with ​Congress the next time, we are on The Hill, please share ​your story with us.
