About the study

The main goal of this research is to help families who are experiencing food insecurity (FI) and help mothers with depression.

The next goal is to provide other resources to help with household needs like rent or utility assistance, health insurance, anxiety, and depression. Our theory is that helping with food insecurity, household needs, and emotional health will help children and families.
