Why This Series Matters
New Jersey continues to face critical disparities in maternal health outcomes. Strengthening the birthworker workforce through high-quality education is essential to improving the experiences of Black and Brown birthing people.
Our Professional Development Series helps ensure that families are supported by providers who are culturally responsive, community-rooted, and well-trained.
