Reproductive Health Impact Released the Building Your Perinatal Team eBook
A digital education project to show diversity in perinatal care professions.
Reproductive Health Impact (RH Impact) is proud to announce the release of its “Building Your Perinatal Team” e-book, infographic, and social media campaign created with support from the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF). The purpose of this project is to educate mothers, birthing people, community members, and health care providers about the diverse range of professionals available to support Black mothers and birthing people through the sexual and reproductive health cycle.
“CHCF is proud to support this much-needed project, which is a visual reminder of the research showing that the maternity care workforce can provide better care by reflecting the diversity of the mothers and birthing people it serves,” said Amelia Cobb, senior program officer at CHCF. “Also, expanding the maternity care workforce beyond OB-GYNs and nurses is critical for advancing Black birth equity in California and nationwide.”
As part of the project the Training, Praxis, and Evaluation (TPE) Team at Reproductive Health Impact conducted research and created descriptions and graphic representations for eleven maternal health care professions including: obstetricians/gynecologists, midwives, anesthesiologists, maternal and child health nurses, full spectrum doulas, lactation counselors, pelvic floor therapists, childbirth educators, perinatal mental health specialists, perinatologists, and pediatricians. Once crafted, Reproductive Health Impact partnered with 6 Black-led community-based organizations throughout the U.S. and 12 maternal health practitioners to review the material for accuracy, cultural relevance, and relatability. These organizations include Crescent City Family Services (New Orleans, LA), T.L.C. Consulting & Maternal Healing (Oakland, CA), Jamaa Birth Village (Ferguson, MO), Village Birth International (Syracuse, NY), Kuluntu Reproductive Justice Center (Atlanta, GA), and Birth in Color RVA (Richmond, VA).
