LA2L will be providing in-person workshops and online webinars to educate, raise awareness, and empower women and families throughout New Jersey with a strong focus on Black communities to decrease the impacts of structural racism and implicit bias.  Health literacy plays a crucial role in improving maternal child outcomes. 

 

The goal is to:

1. Empower communities to make healthy decisions for themselves and their babies 

2. Increase the prevention of perinatal loss and pregnancy-related maternal deaths, especially for BIPOC women with high-risk pregnancies due to race and socioeconomic status disparities in New Jersey 

 

LA2L will use evidence-based practices and organizational performance monitoring.  LA2L  partners with other community-based organizations that offer direct support to women, families, and communities during pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and postpartum, as well as organizations that provide resources and educational materials.  

​

LA2L's workshops and webinars will be structured around a theme and presented in a straightforward, constructive manner focused on moving forward for better maternal child health outcomes.
