Virtual Offering. Zoom Link Will be Provided to Registered Attendees

History, Healing & Liberation: Trauma-Informed Lactation Support for Black Families is a workshop designed to deepen understanding of the historical and systemic factors shaping Black maternal health and breastfeeding experiences today.

Facilitated by Erica Glaze, MPH, IBCLC, BBEN Director of Strategic Initiatives, this session will guide participants through a critical exploration of Black maternal history and its connection to lactation practices. Together, we will examine how historical harm, systemic inequities, and cultural resilience continue to influence care today.

Participants will gain tools to provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive lactation support that centers autonomy, trust. and the lived experiences of Black tamilies.

This workshop is ideal for doulas, lactation professionals, midwives, and birthworkers committed to advancing equitable care.
