Session description

Please join us for a live webinar on Friday, August 30th, 2019 at 12:00 PM PST for a timely and informative talk about Ripple Effects of Historical Trauma and Resilience on Breastfeeding Outcomes in the African American Community; Considerations for Leveraging Resilience and Providing Culturally Congruent Support

Both nationally and in California reports, African Americans are identified as having some of the lowest rates of having ever breastfeeding, initiating breastfeeding and/or exclusively breastfeeding.  Lack of knowledge regarding African American women’s historical trauma and current race-related micro-stressors, and the impacts these have on maternal health and breastfeeding, prevents providers from adequately addressing the needs of the community.  This presentation will focus on increasing the cultural sensitivity and humility of providers, in an effort to promote culturally responsive and informed care and support services for African Americans.
