MWR Breastfeeding Peer Collaborative

Support. Empower. Thrive.

The virtual Midwest Region (MWR) Breastfeeding Peer Collaborative Conference is a unique gathering designed exclusively for peers from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. This online event provides a supportive space for peers to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another about the challenges and advancements in breastfeeding support. Topics include building rapport, tailoring support to individual needs, enhancing engagement with families, supporting mental health, strengthening community connections, and navigating bereavement. These sessions aim to ensure attendees are well-prepared to address emerging issues facing breastfeeding peers.

This event is for peers only.
