Start Early
Start Early ensures every child has a strong start by advancing quality early learning and maternal mental health support — from before birth through the first years of life. Our partnership helps expand access to life-changing care for mothers and families navigating perinatal depression, while also elevating the powerful stories that move policy and hearts.
- Education
Together, we’re supporting Moving Beyond Depression, an evidence-based home visiting model that embeds mental health treatment within trusted care networks. By reducing stigma and removing barriers to access, this approach gives new parents the tools they need to care for themselves and their children.
Our shared belief in prevention, dignity, and systems-level change also fuels Start Early’s storytelling strategy — lifting the voices of families and frontline providers to inspire action and protect the future of early learning. With aligned urgency and values, this partnership meets families where they are and supports them in building healthy, hopeful futures.
