WHAT IS A LET’S TALK COMMUNITY CHAT?

Let’s Talk Community Chats  create safe spaces where families can engage in open, culturally responsive conversations about safe sleep practices, breastfeeding, the proper use of infant products, and mental well being.

These casual, monthly drop-in events are facilitated by trained community members, such as doulas, lactation consultants, grandparents, and dads, who are trusted within their communities. Families are empowered and informed about vital resources and social services to keep them and their newborn babies safe and healthy.

Black infants are nearly three times more likely to be affected than white infants.

Many of these deaths are preventable. However, families are often given misinformation or lack access to culturally relevant support that reinforces safe sleep and breastfeeding practices.
