Nurturing Futures: Empowering Moms Initiative
Our new program is aimed at supporting and empowering mothers in Niagara and Erie Counties. This initiative will bring together 25 moms from each county for a transformative year-long experience designed to improve maternal health, especially focusing on breastfeeding education, overcoming cultural barriers, and addressing systemic racism that negatively impacts maternal health outcomes. This program is to directly reduce maternal health disparities, while utilizing culturally relevant education and materials that resonate with the community and participants. We will also provide resources to address social determinants of health, facilitate transportation, access to care, and direct referrals to healthcare providers and services as needed.
