What Our Clients Say About SMC:

This was the most helpful thing I did during pregnancy. It made a big difference, particularly the [women's stories]—a bigger difference than I expected.

The program made me feel like there was still hope for me moving forward.

[The tutor] is someone I can talk to and trust, and I get more information off of her than I could from my doctors or a counselor or anything.
