How SMC Works

• SMC is a trauma-informed, mental health education program designed for pregnancy and early parenting
• Your SMC “tutor” (aka guide) will walk alongside you through a cutomizable program involving reading, watching short videos and one-on-one or group meetings.
• With SMC, you don’t have to talk about your trauma in order to heal from it.
• You and your tutor will talk about the impact of trauma through relatable characters’ stories weaved throughout the workbook. In order to practice and apply the tools you learned without the pressure of telling your own personal stories.
