Outreach

Alena Clark, Instructor

Our purpose in developing an inclusive lactation training program is to develop a racial equity assessment tool to analyze the impact of policy, procedures, services, and budget decisions on maternal and child health populations of color. Without this critical equity assessment and evaluation data, we will not be able to clearly document how the Lactation Consultant Training Program is meeting the needs of the maternal BIPOC communities in Colorado.
