About The MOM Museum

Museum of motherhoodThe Museum of Motherhood (M.O.M.) Art Annex is an exhibition and education center dedicated to the exploration of family – past, present, and future, with a focus on mothers, fathers, and families.

M.O.M.’s mission is to start great conversations, feature thought-provoking exhibits, and share information and education. Our aim is to collect, preserve, and disseminate articles, books, artifacts, images, and research on the science, art, and history of all aspects of procreation, birth, and caregiving. We care about those engaged in these activities, and actively promote members of the community interested in the emerging areas of Mother and Father Studies.

M.O.M. is the first and only social change facility of its kind. We do not discriminate, are open to all perspectives, and recognize diversity as a guiding premise.

The museum in its entirety is currently online only, with events throughout the world, as well as strategic Pop Up Exhibits. You can visit the MOM Art Annex in St. Petersburg, Florida by appointment, by RSVPing for one of our events, or through a roommate residency program.

Our First Basic Life Saving Support (BLS) Class Was A Success!

Basic Life Support Classes

Our first BLS class was a success! Several participants received their certifications, and of course their free hug from Nurse Jackie. We received some great feedback from the class. Everyone seemed to enjoy the class, some said it was informative, others enjoyed the hands on portion of the training.

Nurse Jackie also made the class fun, at times she tried to trick everyone to make sure we were paying attention. Nurse Jackie’s passion for teaching becomes apparent almost immediately, she loves helping others and she creates a positive environment.

One of the topics we extensively covered was Basics for Infants, which included hands on training using a barrier device and providing ventilation.

Nurse Jackie split the class into groups and has us position ourselves directly above the infant’s head, and we then placed the mask on the victims face using the bridge of the nose as a guide.

Next we used our thumbs and index fingers of one hand to make a “C” to press around the edges of the mask. lastly, we ensured the airway was open and then began delivering ventilation using the bag mask and barrier devices.

She also stressed the importance of not over extending the infant’s head. She constantly reminded us if you tilt or extend an infant’s head beyond the neutral position, the infants airway may become blocked.

Nurse Jackie lastly had us make sure to hold the mask against the face with our thumb and index fingers while using the remaining fingers of that hand to lift the jaw and open the airway..
