Community Consortium

Our collaborative network focuses on leveraging expertise and community assets to inform community conversations, identify areas of opportunity, and programs and activities that work to eliminate infant and maternal health inequities in our Black and African American communities. We focus on systems change and the social determinants of health to dismantle systems of inequity and injustice that impact Black and African American perinatal health.

The Community Consortium specifically focuses to:

​​

• Address racist and unjust systems

• Support the full village of support for birthing individuals and families, including fathers and partners

• Improve fourth trimester support

• Improve mental health and well-being

​​

Our strength-based strategy emphasizes partnerships and associations, focuses on community, and believes that people are the answer to difficult issues communities may face.

​

Join us in our effort to create and maintain systems change in dedication to perinatal Black and African American birthing individuals and families! ​
