Stevie feels like the resources were not applicable to her situation.
Transcript
I did ask later on, and they said they didn’t really have anything like that. They gave me some like books and stuff. But it was related to people older than I am. I reached out to heart failure to see if there’s any people that were around my age around my same story that I could talk with that were like peer supports. They said there was no one. Heart failure also told me they barely see people that are pregnant on their agendas. So, I was definitely the odd man out.
