Register for KPHA Webinar: Maternal Behavioral Health in Kentucky: Insights from a Home Visiting Lens

Date: Thursday, October 8th at 11am ET
Registration Link: https://virtualconference.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_W-JSEm9aRkuDuV5wLRV_7A #/registration

The presentation will start by exploring the importance of maternal behavioral health in Kentucky, and ways that the HANDS program can support families. The bulk of the presentation will focus on an evaluation of how HANDS serves families with behavioral health needs, from a family perspective, a home visitor perspective, and a community perspective. As we explore barriers, opportunities, and actionable next steps for the HANDS program, attendees will be challenged to apply these lessons learned and reflect on their role in promoting maternal behavioral health.

⚠️ MEASLES ALERT: Kentucky health officials have confirmed a case of measles in Christian County, with additional unconfirmed reports and exposures raising concern about possible spread in the Commonwealth.

Measles is highly contagious, but it is preventable. Vaccination with the MMR vaccine remains the best protection against measles. KPHA encourages Kentuckians to stay informed, review their vaccination status, and follow guidance from public health officials.
