Pregnancy and infant loss is a tragedy that affects many families in our communities. The US infant mortality rate is 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births, but Black babies have a higher likelihood of death with 10.8 deaths per 1,000 live births (CDC).

has a mission is to provide education, advocacy, public awareness, and support services to families in our community experiencing all types of loss.

Their vision is to unite the community and support families in the process of healing in a positive way.

If you or someone you know may be struggling to cope, heal, are feeling lost after loss or just want to connect with a group of people who have experienced loss in their own way and have found ways to navigate this often-unspoken place. I urge you to get connected with Propa City Community Outreach. They host healing sessions and various workshops each month that can aide in making steps to heal in a positive way.

As a result of our in-depth quality improvement project, we hope to expand the services we provide for current CHAT clients and other MA residents living with breast cancer, while also doing more community-based breast cancer prevention work.

We are now looking for providers and community members to participate in surveys, interviews and a focus group so that we can test out our ideas, and learn more about how best to be a part of the current landscape of breast cancer support and prevention work.

Image Text: The Young Parent Ambassador program gave me confidence as not only a new mother but as a young adult. I first joined the group when I was five months, I was at a low point in life and needed guidance. I needed the support. I felt so alone I was the first out of my family and friends to have a baby this early.

YPA gave me support, love, and compassion. I was able to connect, relate, and network alongside three other beautiful young mothers.

Joining YPA allows young parents to grow professionally and personally. It changed my life for the better, and I know it can change yours apply now. -- Taylor H. 2020-2021 Young Parent Ambassador
