Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the Maui wildfires that destroyed much of Lahaina last week. Unfortunately, the needs of pregnant and postpartum people are often overlooked in climate disasters. With Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Breastfeeding Week, we are especially thinking of the pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding parents and families in Lahaina and Maui. We are thankful for organizations stepping up to address the specific needs of parents, families, and children.
Join this open panel discussion to hear from AANHPI community members and their journeys to becoming lactation support professionals!
The presentation will be followed by a discussion on how we can further build community capacity to support our AANHPI families.
Celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week and join us for Titti Talk hosted by Breastfeed Durham and Sistersong at the People Solidarity Hub. We have a lot to celebrate this year with new rights for pregnant parents and pumping at work.
