Adriana’s oldest son missed early support and still struggles. Her younger kids got help. Their paths look different. This is what early intervention does. And why families should not have to fight so hard to get it. Get involved: bit.ly/3Pj96tT #BelieveInBabies

"It's a two-generation investment. You're not only supporting your working families, which is the immediate thing that policymakers can understand, but you're also setting up the workforce of tomorrow for success." Chad Allgood Mississippi Department of Human Services #SXSWEdu

@ZEROTOTHREE this doesn't get said enough: maternal mental health and serve and return are directly linked. a depleted caregiver can't be responsive. and responsiveness IS the mechanism of early brain development. you can't have one without the other. #earlylearning #development

Women shape history. They also shape the next generation before babies are even born. Maternal mental health affects babies’ development. It can’t be ignored. This Women’s History Month, we’re honoring women leading change in maternal mental health: bit.ly/43lR5jU

Yes, mental health includes babies. After losing her baby brother, Nelwyn's older sister Keeva developed PTSD. Nelwyn began to withdraw, too. They needed care. But support was hard to find. She’s one of many. Meet more babies: bit.ly/4tHKx9T #BelieveInBabies

Shania wanted Cohen to have the childhood she never had. Love wasn’t the problem. Support was, until someone believed in her. Believing in babies means believing in caregivers, too. Watch their story. Become a believer: bit.ly/4aw3Om4 #BelieveInBabies
