Rebooting Lactation: A Trauma Informed Approach
Please join us for a timely discussion about Rebooting Lactation: A Trauma Informed Approach a live webinar with Mireya Gonzalez on Thursday July 23, 2020 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
Mireya Gonzalez is a first generation P’repucha Chicana Community Lactation Educator and Maternal and Child Mental Health Advocate who provides accessible, trauma-informed, culturally congruent lactation education and support for her community. Mireya is the founder of Chichihualli Lactation, a grassroots community organization that provides accessible culturally sensitive breast/chestfeeding support and education to lactating indigenous and Latinx communities in Los Angeles CA. Mireya centers lactating indigenous people of Cemanahuac/Mesoamerica in her services with an emphasis on protecting, preserving, and restoring breast/chestfeeding as an ancestral tradition, and human and reproductive right. As an indigenous mother who’s breastfed for over five consecutive years, Mireya see’s access to lactation education and support as a critical and vital component to indigenous rights, and environmental and social justice movements. In her services, Mireya takes an ecological, environmental, historical, and sociocultural approach that builds on the strengths of indigenous people, communities and family lineages. While raising awareness on correlations between indigenous breast/chestfeeding outcomes and family and community health, Mireya makes it her priority to return breast/chestfeeding resources to her urban marginalized community in order to empower indigenous breast/chestfeeding families to build on their ancestral, historical, generational, and personal resiliency. In addition to being a Community Lactation Educator and Maternal and Child Mental Health Advocate, Mireya is actively involved in influencing the lactation field by advocating for racial equity through her activism, advocacy campaigns, and collaborative efforts with doulas, local organizations, and community stakeholders.
