Registration for this conference closes on July 26, 2024.
Program Description
Persistent disparities in maternal health outcomes among Black and Brown populations, compounded by lower breastfeeding initiation and continuation rates, highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions and support within the maternal health workforce. The Uplifting Black and Brown Lactation Success (UBBLS) Conference seeks to examine these complex challenges and deepen connections among North Carolina's Black and Brown maternal health workforce by identifying and dismantling structural barriers to entry and retention. Through partnership and professional development opportunities, this conference aims to strengthen relationships, foster support structures, and facilitate educational journeys within the maternal health sector.
