Do you know a young mother or someone who’s expecting?

This matters more than you think.

Mississippi leads the nation in infant mortality — but education and support can change outcomes.

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is help someone get the information they need.

Encourage them to:
✔️ Prioritise prenatal care
✔️ Take their health seriously during pregnancy
✔️ Ask questions and seek support
✔️ Join us for a free community Lunch & Learn focused on healthier moms and healthier babies.

“Am I doing everything right?”

You’ve asked yourself that during pregnancy. And you’re not alone.
The truth is, most mothers are doing their best. However, without clear guidance, it’s easy to miss what matters most.

Taking care of yourself while expecting isn’t just about rest and nutrition. It’s about:

✔️ Regular prenatal visits
✔️ Managing your health conditions
✔️Asking questions, even the ones you think are small

Those small questions can make a big difference. Get answers in a safe, supportive space at our Healthy Moms & Healthy Babies Lunch & Learn.

🗓 April 21 | noon
Free event + childcare provided

Mississippi has the highest infant mortality rate in the country.

Let that sink in.

If you’re expecting, or love someone who is, this isn’t something to ignore. Many outcomes are preventable when you have the right information at the right time.

Start prenatal care early and stay consistent. Even when you feel fine, those appointments can catch issues before they become serious.

But you don’t have to figure this out alone. Join us for the Healthy Moms & Healthy Babies Awareness Lunch & Learn and get real answers.
