YWCA Nurse Partnership Program



I traveled to Dallas, Texas to help create a 6 minute film about young mothers that are part of the YWCA's Nurse Partnership Program. The program helps at risk mothers by assigning them a nurse that makes house calls throughout the unplanned pregnancy and the first year of the child's life. The program ensures a healthy start to a new life by teaching the mothers about nutrition and health for them and their child as well as educating them about other programs that will help them aspire to a higher standard of living. I worked with Justin Weiler, Josh Bray and Steve Deitz on this project.
