New Destiny’s success story for the month of December exemplifies the greatest gift of support and courage. On September 13, 2023, Ms. V was referred to New Destiny FSC by one of our concerned participants. At the time Ms. V was experiencing a mental health crisis, which was affecting her ability to connect with her child. This situation was taking a toll on Ms. V’s emotional and physical state. Research shows that women are more like to experience depression after birth. According to Americashealthrankings.org, New Jersey ranked fifth place on Postpartum depression in 2021. This information shows how depression and postpartum depression are a serious issue among women in the State of New Jersey that continues till this day. One office representative reached out to Ms. V and scheduled an appointment to meet with a Family Partner. The goal of this meeting was to discuss available programs that would be beneficial to her. After discussing different services, Ms. V enrolled in two of our programs. One was the Able to Virtual mental health initiative, and Pathways to Success for Women. To date, Ms. V. is still engaged in both programs working towards empowering and healing from past trauma. Ms. V stated the Able to program has given her purpose and has also helped her to reconnect with her baby and family. Data shows that with the proper connections, care, and follow ups from a care team, in this case our own Family Partners, depression, postpartum depression, and other mental health illnesses may be prevented. As Family Partners, we make sure the individual in need is connected to the appropriate resources ensuring a successful outcome. At New Destiny, we strive to uplift and provide guidance so that everyone can have a better future.
