Though the non-profit is still young, 2020 Mom has become well known for it\u2019s work convening, collaborating and inspiring change in the maternal mental health field. Recognizing doctors alone can\u2019t fix the maternal mental health problem, 2020 Mom looks at the common denominators in a woman\u2019s life during this time and identified the best practices in it\u2019s framework for change, called the 2020 Mom Project.\nRecognizing the shortage of trained providers and training programs, 2020 Mom launched a web-based training program in MMH, with a sister non-profit, Postpartum Support International, in 2013.

The National Coalition brings together the leaders of other non-profits focused on maternal mental health, to engage in collective impact.\nIn addition to running the non-profit, Joy serves as a compliance project manager for Cigna, where she has worked for 19 years. Before founding 2020 Mom, Joy had a rich volunteer life with the Junior League, serving most recently as the Junior Leagues of California State Public Affairs Committee Co-Chair and was recognized by the Junior League of Los Angeles in 2013 with their Founder\u2019s Cup, given to just 4 women in 85 years.
