Details

This activity will be held ** IN PERSON **; details of the exact location will be provided closer to the event date.


This one day workshop is designed for professionals working with pregnant and parenting people who want to deepen their understanding of lactation through a decolonizing lens. Join us to understand the role we can ALL take as community partners to support lactation. Designed for midwives, doulas, social workers, childcare providers, home visitors, or anyone interested in best supporting growing families, participants will explore the benefits of breast/chestfeeding, biological imperatives, and evidence-based best practices while considering how historical and cultural factors shape our approach to lactation today.

By the end of this workshop, participants will feel empowered to advocate for and support lactation as a shared community responsibility, fostering healthier, more inclusive feeding practices that honor the lived experiences and identities of the people they serve. This workshop is ideal for non-lactation providers who are committed to providing holistic, inclusive, and culturally competent care to families from pregnancy and beyond.
