Supporting the Well-Being of Indigenous Mothers and Babies with a Culturally Affirming Evidence-Based Program
February 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The presentation and discussion will highlight how Family Spirit, a program of the Center for Indigenous Health at Johns Hopkins University, provides evidence-based maternal home-visiting program services to mothers with babies and toddlers up to age 3. The program serves mothers in 170 tribal communities in 28 states, includes partnerships with public health, tribal health, and child welfare systems, and addresses physical and behavioral health.
This session will explore how culturally responsive, evidence-based approaches can enhance maternal and infant well-being in Indigenous communities.
Why This Webinar Is Important
- Communities and systems interested in supporting maternal well-being through culturally affirming evidence-based practice can learn from the Family Spirit example.
- Service providers can learn how Family Spirit incorporated multiple federal funding streams to offset the cost of implementing this program.
The webinar is part of the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Leading With Evidence series, promoting effective and equitable evidence-based approaches in a variety of settings.
