TUESDAY, JUNE 14TH
FROM 10AM-12:30PM
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
The Alliance's last mother's in recovery training session on innovative considerations specific to promoting better ‘birthing fruition’
Birthing Fruition Training program is a pathway serving the community with a demonstration pilot project that provides standards, culturally relevant, and respectful high-quality knowledge-based skill-building to end disparities in prenatal, birthing, delivery, postpartum, and parenting. The birthing fusion training is a community collaboration that reaches differing entities in a movement ending the cost to mothers and infants facing disparities and death. It is notable that the community advisory board of BIPOC professionals are inclusive of leadership from a well-known recovery center that keeps the mission moving forward and honest to its mothers no matter what the barriers are. The health and well-being of our community of mothers to thrive is only possible with the delivery of babies ready to live, learn, thrive and contribute to humanity.

The More You Know---
June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month!
Worldwide, 55 million people are living with Alzheimer's and other dementias according to the Alzheimer's Association. Approximately 5.8 million people in the United States age 65 and older live with Alzheimer's disease. Of those, 80% are 75 years old and older. Out of the approximately 50 million people worldwide with dementia, between 60% and 70% are estimated to have Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurologic disorder that causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to die. Alzheimer's is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. Memory loss that disrupts daily life may be a symptom of Alzheimer's or other dementia.
