Each year 380,000 children are born to first-time mothers living in poverty. Many of these mothers are young, single, socially isolated, and without a high school diploma. Their children face major barriers to leading healthy lives and escaping poverty because their mothers lack the resources and knowledge to create a better life for their families. Nurse-Family Partnership is a non-profit that transforms the first thousand days of life for babies born to moms living in poverty across the United States. Beginning during pregnancy, and until the child is two, nurses visit moms at home to educate them on parenting, share resources and perform health checks. Their goal is to reach more moms than ever.

Talk To Your Community

The following questions helped guide the film's journey. Having these tough conversations on a local level can ultimately support a much needed national discussion about the role of kindness and decency in a civilized, democratic society.  

  1. How do we raise our children?
  2. How do we teach our children?
  3. How do we live and work together?
  4. How do we care for the sick and dying?
  5. How do we welcome the stranger?
  6. How do we lead?
