Core Values
In providing these webinars, we are committed to honoring these 4 core values: access, evidence, equity, and relevance
-
Access: These webinars align with ongoing efforts to equitably establish breast/chestfeeding support in every community by providing free, web-based, and regularly-occurring continuing education opportunities that equip trusted leaders to provide lactation support in their communities
-
Evidence: Working alongside presenters who share respectfully gathered data to inform practical, successful approaches to increase the feasibility of breast/chestfeeding succeslighlight
-
Equity: Collaborating with presenters who center the individuals, families, and communities they serve in the approaches they share and whose work is centered outside of the dominant culture
-
Relevance: Providing pertinent information on dismantling roadblocks to success that are timely and necessary to increase the feasibility of families providing human milk to their babies
