Parent Topic Nights Free, open forums present families with an opportunity to meet individual birth professionals, ask questions freely and informally, and receive the latest evidence-based information from experts in the field of pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the childbearing year. Studies have found that mothers learn very effectively in group settings, listening to and observing other mothers, discussing and experiencing discussion. The Northland Birth Network’s Info Nights recognize and support women’s communication patterns and social patterns in motherhood. It is our intention to effectively and efficiently educate mothers and families, concretely impacting individual lives of mothers and their babies.
Northland Birth Network Professional Education Series offers unique, innovative and evidence-based educational opportunities to birth professionals and/or the community. We’re dedicated to disseminating evidence-based information to the people who need it most: mothers and the professionals who are entrusted with their well-being. Through innovative programs connecting to mothers, to birth professionals and to the public at large, NBN aims to elevate dialogue about birth issues and plant seeds of ideas that germinate in powerful policy change that directly impacts and improves the health of women and children. Whenever possible, CEUs will be offered for appropriate professional certifying and licensing organizations.
Media Outreach will work toward affecting an informed public discourse about birth issues. The Northland Birth Network seeks to create, distribute and provide information about evidence-based birth practices, supported birth, transparency in birth, and breastfeeding into the public sphere. Changing minds changes policy, improving health and well-being of mothers and babies.
