Partnership with THRIVE (Toward Health Resiliency for Infant Vitality and Equity)

A critical goal in our community is to reduce infant mortality and ensure that babies make it to their first birthdays. To that end, the YWCA partners with THRIVE to support and promote healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. We have a Community Health Worker on-site as an integral member of our team to educate and provide support to our clients.

A Community Health Worker is available at no cost to participants to help support and assist women through pregnancy and the first year of their baby’s life. CHWs work with their clients to identify the challenges and barriers they may face in preparing for a new baby.

To participate in the program, contact us via the Participate tab below.
