Children whose parents manifest high levels of stress or depression are at greater risk of social, emotional, and behavioral problems.  The fact that an insufficient supply of diapers and basic needs is not only a risk factor for poor infant and child health but also for maternal mental health, potentially diminishing maternal sense of competence and increasing maternal stress, which ultimately leads to potential negative impacts on child health and development.  Our mission continuously moves in the direction of improving the health and wellness of our smallest community members, while impacting the maternal mental health of their caregivers.
