As a second time mom, Healthy Start has been a great resource for not only me but my family overall. With my first son, I struggled with having post-partum depression due to not having the support system I truly desired and the lack of knowledge that comes with taking care of a baby. Since my second son was born, I've been able to have a stress-free post-partum journey due to the monthly home visits guiding me in the right direction on how to properly care for my baby and receiving the necessary resources.
