Skills – Research – Advocacy
Nurturely’s Perinatal Equity Advocate Program mobilizes birthworkers, community members, healthcare providers, and other professionals who work with parents to serve as advocates, educators, and supporters. Nurturely’s Advocates are equipped with: 1) hands-on skills in preventative modalities for pregnancy and postpartum wellness, 2) research-based knowledge of the culture, biology, and psychology of the perinatal period, and 3) advocacy-based tools to dismantle the systems and structures that create health disparities in the perinatal period.
