Bronx Wecare Mom

Idea Submission for The People's Money:
Our idea is 200 Bronx moms after giving birth would receive free bi-weekly postpartum therapy one on one virtual or in person if they choose for the first year of their child’s life. The mother could be selected by partnering with hospitals and looking at hospital exit surveys.
